You can opt to use other plant-based meat substitutes or even some cooked lentils or minced mushrooms, if you’re looking for a whole food substitute. I always have this stocked in my pantry and just rehydrate it by soaking it in hot water until doubled in size. This is also nut, soy, and dairy-free.įor the baked mac “meat” sauce, I used TVP or textured vegetable protein, which is a great plant-based meat substitute. The Ultimate Cheesy Vegan Baked Mac-macaroni cooked in a meaty tomato sauce then smothered with a cheesy white sauce before being baked! This baked mac is cheesy, somewhat creamy, and super comforting.
