Meaty Mac & Cheese

Here is yet another version of the kid’s favorite meal. (Well, they never get sick of eating it, so I have to come up with new ways to prepare it!) Those ‘meat’ pieces are actually Amy’s Organic California Veggie Burger.

Here’s what you need:

• Your choice of noodles, prepared as instructed on package (I use these)
• 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
• 1/2 cup garbanzo flour
• 10 oz box frozen pureed butternut squash or winter squash (I use this)
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
• 2 cups unsweetened rice milk
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Vegan burger patties, heated and chopped

1. Prepare your noodles according to the instruction on the package — set aside.
2. Thaw the squash in the microwave.
3. Mix the rest of the ingredients, in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, mixing often. Once the mixture is thick and cheesy add the squash and pour over your noodles. Mix until the sauce evenly coats the noodles. Top each serving with chopped vegan patties.
