Silken Tofoo Mac & Cheese (3 Ways)

One creamy silken base, three completely different finishes - this is a choose-your-own-adventure tea time. Macaroni gets baked in a rich, cheesy sauce made from Silken Tofoo, vegan cheddar, and a hit of Dijon and nutritional yeast, then topped with your pick of crispy fried onion rings, sharp quick pickles, or garlic mushrooms and thyme. A genuine crowd-pleaser for when everyone at the table wants something slightly different.
