Simply Southern Mac & Cheese
- 1 cup Violife Colby Jack shredded cheese
- 1 pack Violife cheddar slices
- 5 slices Violife smoked provolone
- ¼ cup Violife cream cheese
- 1 cup soy milk
- ½ cup butter
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups vegan cream (you favorite vegan mayo is perfect)
- 1.5 cups dry pasta cooked according to package directions
Instructions:
To make the sauce, cut up and melt all the cheeses, milk, butter, and seasonings just enough to combine. The sauce should be lumpy. Chill the sauce down.
While the sauce is chilling, cook the pasta. Once the sauce is just under room temp to the touch and slightly cold, add in the cream and mix until well combined. This should be a super, super thick sauce. Then mix in your pasta and transfer the bowl to a baking sheet. Top with more cheese and cover in plastic and foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Remove covering and allow to crispen on broil for just a few minutes.
