If you’ve been following me for a while, or even for just a lil’ bit, you may know that I am obsessed with vegan mac and cheese. After showing some appreciation for this wonderful comfort food in the form of a twitter thread, I thought it was high-time for a Best of Vegan Mac and Cheese list!
So, I went through some of my favorites from the blog, and got some input from blogger friends for this drool-worthy line up. Here you’ll find appetizer-inspired recipes like macho nachos, and jalapeño popper macs. Of course there are your classic baked macs, or some with Korean flavors like gochujang or kimchi!
Vegan mac and cheese is one of the best comfort foods around, so I've put together this All-star list to show my appreciation!
