Mac-imize Your Mac-n-Cheese

  • Turn any bowl of mac-n-cheese into a meal with veg-friendly add-ins:
  • Vegetarian chili*-pour over the top for a quick and comforting dinner.
  • Meatless sausage-slice and add after the mac-n-cheese is done cooking.
  • Meatless meatballs-serve alongside mac-n-cheese or mix together before serving.
  • Soy bacon-crumble and add right before serving.
  • Vegan tuna-add a can of Vegan Toona for a tuna melt-style dish.
