Ingredients
  • 1- 16 oz. package cavatappi noodles
  • 4- 7 oz. packages of vegan cheese (we used 1 Daiya cheddar shreds, 1 pepperjack shreds, 1 smoked gouda block, and 1 classic blend shreds)
  • 2 packs Tofurkey Slow Roasted Lightly Seasoned Chick’n (optional)
  • 3 Jalapeños
  • 2½ cups unsweetened flax milk
  • 1 cup panic bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup Sriracha (optional)
  • ¼ vegan butter, melted
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit
  2. In a saute pan on medium-high heat, add olive oil
  3. Saute chick’n and jalapeños until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add Sriracha and cook an additional 2-3 minute, set aside.
  5. Cook noodles according to package and set aside
  6. Mix bread crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl. Set aside.
  7. If you have any cheese blocks, make sure you cut them into smaller cubes to ensure they melt easier
  8. In a large saucepan on medium-low heat, add your cheeses and one cup of unsweetened non-dairy milk
  9. Stir until cheeses have melted, but still a bit clumpy
  10. Add remaining cup and a half of non-dairy milk and continue to stir until all the cheese lumps are gone
  11. Mix chick’n, jalapeños and noodles into the cheese sauce and stir until all the noodles and chik’n are coated with sauce
  12. Season with salt and pepper to taste
  13. Add mac and cheese to a large casserole dish and top with panic bread crumb mixture
  14. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes
  15. Remove foil and bake another 20-30 minutes, until golden brown and bubbly
  16. Broil for the last 5-10 minutes of cooking for extra crispy crust
  17. ENJOY!
