Hello all,
I'm struggling with finding the best Vegan Sub. for Macaroni and Cheese any good recipes? It is my favorite food to eat. I use to make a Baked White Cheddar Macaroni and Cheese Dish. Its hard enough giving up dairy. Giving up my favorite food is even harder. What are the best tasting Vegan Cheeses? I tried Daiya Cheddar Slices. It has a strange after taste. I could not eat it by itself. Can someone please point in the right direction?

"Macaroni" is generally taken to mean a certain shape of white flour pasta. I love pasta too, but I choose organic whole grain wheat, quinoa, oats or rice.
I don't buy the non-dairy cheeses often because they're usually too expensive, though I like several of them. "Cheese" can also be made rather easily from a variety of nuts. A search for "vegan cheese" on the web will bring up a lot of stuff!

Yes I tried the Potato and Carrot "Cheese" Sauce the recipe just did not work out. Just was hoping someone found a good that they know will pass as the real thing. In the past I have used whole wheat elbow pasta for this dish. Thank you for responding!

Below is my favorite recipe for vegan mac and cheese. It doesn't use any store-bought cheese alternatives. The "cheesy" flavor comes from nutritional yeast. Some people don't like nutritional yeast, but I love it so this is my go-to recipe:

If you're not a nutritional yeast person, try this recipe with butternut squash. It's a little more work and you need a blender, but it's very tasty:
