Vegan Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaroni

Step 1

Chop soaked chickpeas in a food processor until you get a nice crumble.

Step 2

Saute onion with broth or oil until it gets translucent. Add the rest of the meaty crumble ingredients and mix well.

Step 3

Cook over low heat for about 15-20 minutes or until the liquid has evaporated and the beans are cooked, stirring often. Watch closely because the beans can stick, especially if not using oil. If they begin to stick, lower heat and continue to mix.

Step 4

Once done, add cheese sauce and mix well. You can add less or more cheese sauce to make it as cheesy as you prefer. I added 1 1/2 cups

Step 5

Meanwhile, cook your favorite pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse, then add to the hamburger cheese mix. Stir to incorporate, plate and serve fresh!
