- [Sam] Hi friends, it's Sam.
And today, I'm making the
world's easiest recipe.
Okay, well maybe it's not
the world's easiest recipe,
but it's really easy.
In fact, it's so easy I thought,
should I even make a video for this?
Because it's so easy.
Today I'm gonna make homemade
vegan mac and cheese powder.
You know when you buy like
a box of mac and cheese
and it comes with that powdery
stuff that you mix with milk
to make macaroni and cheese?
That is what I've made.
I made a vegan version of that.
Takes less than five minutes to make.
You can pop it in your pantry.
Store it for whenever mac
and cheese cravings strike.
And it makes an incredibly delicious
homemade vegan mac and cheese.
Let's hop to it.
(snaps)
So grab yourself a jar
or an airtight container
anything that you wanna store your vegan
mac and cheese powder in,
and we're just gonna add
everything right in there.
So first,
nutritional yeast.
Next, all purpose flour.
Now if you prefer a whole food,
you're welcome to use a whole wheat flour
or if you are gluten-free,
you're welcome to use a gluten-free blend
as long as the flour has the
ability to thicken as sauce,
it'll work beautifully.
One tablespoon of white sugar.
One tablespoon of paprika.
That's gonna help add that
gorgeous golden orangy color
that is essential for
homemade mac and cheese.
Two teaspoons of salt.
Two teaspoons of onion powder.
One teaspoon of garlic powder.
Now this is my super secret
ingredient that's not secret
cuz I'm gonna tell you right now,
but it takes this recipe
from good all the way up
to like super amazing delicious.
And that is lemon pepper.
Lemon pepper is gonna add
a little bit of sourness,
a little bit of tang,
so that it gets that kind
of sharpness to a cheddar.
Make it really cheesy tasting.
(clicks tongue)
Delicious.
Why won't you fit in?
Lemon pepper.
(sniffs)
Mmm, smell's lemony.
And lastly, turmeric.
Which is gonna help make
that orangy color as well.
Now, close up your jar,
close up your container,
and it's time to shake.
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.
Give it a really good shake.
So much shaking.
(giggles)
A lot of shaking.
The key here is to make sure
that it's mixed really well.
(giggles)
So shake to your heart's content.
(chipmunk voice)
(giggles)
Oh, goofy.
And so there we have it.
Homemade vegan mac and cheese powder.
How cool is that?
As always, I'll put a link
down below where you can get
the full recipe and all
the exact measurements
for perfect vegan mac and
cheese powder chemistry.
Now this is totally shelf
stable, so pop it on your shelf,
pop it in your pantry, in your cupboard,
and it's good to go for
whenever vegan mac and cheese
cravings strike, which
you know, they happen.
They happen a lot to me.
(giggles)
So this recipe makes about
one cup of homemade vegan
mac and cheese powder.
For every one cup of
uncooked macaroni noodles,
you use a quarter cup of homemade vegan
mac and cheese powder.
Is this too much math?
We're doing too much math.
I should just show you.
To prepare vegan mac and cheese,
cook one cup of macaroni
noodles according to
the package directions.
You can of course use a
gluten-free noodle if you prefer.
Now return the empty pot back to the stove
with the heat off.
Add three quarter cups of
your favorite non-dairy milk,
today I'm using soy, but you
can use whatever you like,
along with a quarter cup
of our homemade vegan
mac and cheese powder.
Give it a whisk.
Now turn the heat back on and keep cooking
just for about two minutes
until the sauce has thickened
and now you can stir in your
cooked macaroni noodles.
How easy peasy is that?
Homemade vegan mac and cheese
luxurious, gorgeous, yes.
Let's taste.
Let's.
You're gonna have to make that on your own
if you wanna taste it.
I'm gonna taste some
vegan mac and cheese now.
Grab myself a bowl.
Yeah, boy.
Oh my goodness, that looks so good.
So cheesy delicious.
Taste test.
Mmm.
It's so good.
Another bite.
Mmm.
This is so good.
It's creamy, cheesy.
It's so satisfying.
It tastes way better than
any box mac and cheese,
vegan or not, that I've had before.
This is definitely my new favorite.
I've been making this so much
ever since I made this recipe.
(lips smack)
Bellisimo.
You know what I wanna do.
A little mac and cheese decoration.
Yeah, ketchup.
Love it.
Who else likes ketchup
on their mac and cheese?
Is that weird?
I don't know, it just
reminds me of childhood.
I'm also gonna put a little sriracha,
which doesn't remind me
of childhood, but ooh.
I love a little spice.
Mmm.
I just love that combination.
So good.
I can't even believe how
amazingly cheesy this turns out
for such an easy recipe.
(hums with pleasure)
Okay.
I have to stop eating this
so I can do the outro.
I hope you enjoyed this
