Coming in 2024... Made this yesterday for the 4th. Most of my family is non-vegan and they ALL agreed this was the best Mac and cheese ever. Baked version. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes!!
The awkwardness mixed with the monotone voice and corny dad humor is great! And I will definitely be trying this recipe because Mac & Cheese is my favorite and since I went vegan I have stayed away from it. If I can eat it again it would make my life wonderful!!!
We hope you love it as much as we do
sexy voice! husband peeked over at the laptop like "what you watching?"
Lol
I know he did😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😭😭😭😭
I’m glad someone else said it 😅😂
😂😂😂
I came back as soon as I finished cooking. This was the BOMB! I didn’t find myself saying “it’s okay for vegan Mac and Cheese”. We are not a vegan but my daughter has to be on a dairy free diet. This was a well needed recipe. What child doesn’t like Mac and cheese!?
This is awesome to hear! Glad you liked it!! If you ever have a minute, we'd love if you could leave a 5-star rating on the website post!
Way to support your kiddo 🥰👏🏽
I laughed so hard at the Wyclef clip and then 10x harder when the camera cut back to you and you were laughing too. That was a good one.
LOL, thanks so watching
Me too... that was funny
Saaaammmmeeee 😂😂
I just made this dish for Thanksgiving, and OMG!! It is SO amazing!! My husband, who is not vegan could not tell the difference between this recipe and traditional Mac!! Thank you so much for sharing this gem!!
Dude that opening with Wyclef was hilarious! Not to mention one of my fav songs of all time. Music and mac, great combo.
This recipe is everything! For real. It is the most delicious, tastiest and cheesiest vegan Mac I've ever had...no joke!
We are sooooo excited to hear that! If you ever have a moment we hope you could leave a 5-star rating on the website post!
Made this tonight. Easier than I thought and actually very delicious. Thanks!
# (I’m a 4 year vegetarian, # 1 month vegan. Your channel is making this vegan lifestyle more fun).
a great recipe & a hilarious host-how did I not find this channel sooner??
Aww thank you! We really appreciate it and glad you finally found us! At least you have lots of videos to binge watch now ;)
your voice is soo calm, i keep falling asleep while watching
:)
I’m lactose intolerant and love Mac & Cheese. I make it with velveeta, cheddar, milk, lots of butter, and Italian spices. My tummy can’t handle it anymore. Glad there are alternatives. Thanks!!!
That's how I made it prior to being vegan, this hits the spot for that way. Hope you enjoy
I can’t tell what’s better, your humor or your cooking skills 😂 great video!!
hahah appreciate that!
I found you guys by searching for vegan mac and cheese for thanksgiving. My entire family enjoyed this recipe! Deliciously creamy. Great vegan alternative. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you! So happy to hear that.
If you ever have a chance we'd love if you could leave a 5-star rating on the website post!
This. Was. So. Good. Omg my husband made this today. We didn't have enough vegan butter so we used vegan cream cheese, but this recipe is baaaaaaangin!!!!! 10/10
So, I decided to do a drastic lifestyle change after watching What the Health. I knew it would be a challenge because I’m not going to lie, I love my favorite comfort foods that really aren’t good for me. So after stumbling across this channel and these videos I’m hooked. I have not tried a recipe yet, but thank you for letting it be possible that we could have a good food without bad habits. Very much Bob Ross vibes, so I’m for it all the way! Blessings to you and your wife.
Made this last night. Used Great Northern beans, Violife cheddar & Jack shredded cheese, and almond flour because that's what I had on hand. Delicious recipe. Will make again. 😋🔥💕
This is how we make our Mac and cheese now! Thank you guys for this awesome recipe! Probably been going on 1 year now as our Mac and cheese recipe! And even when I’m trying to be lazy some nights it’s never the same without our added butter beans! We love the hearty and wholesomeness of this Mac and cheese. May God bless you all and your family
I just made this, and have to say it is the best mac and cheese ever. Thank you for the great recipe.
i love everything about yalls vibe. subscribed within the first minute♥
thank you!!!
Such a vibe
Butter beans mmm never tried that for the cheese sauce sounds good
You'll be shocked at how perfect it makes it. We hope you love it
I’m a struggling vegan and this thanksgiving I was going to vegan except for the Mac and cheese because I didn’t wanna be shunned from my family lol. But I am totally making a small pan of this for myself because I truly wanted to do a 100% vegan plate this year. Thanks for this
You're so welcome. We hope you totally enjoy
Watches intro; giggles. Watches next footage; swoons away. Beautifully filmed and edited, you two, and the cheeky voiceover is now a hallmark of this channel; too many YTers do super serious voiceovers, like they're defusing a bomb or something, so I'm glad your style is less formal. Such a satisfying viewing experience, and I'm sure this mac n' cheese is amazing! TFP : )
Thank you so much! We look forward to your comment every week!
@@MakeItDairyFree : )
Defusing a bomb! 😂😂
This looks delicious and it's what I'm making for dinner tonight. It's a good way of getting the protein from beans into my son as he hates the texture of beans! This channel and your other one have become my favourite cooking channels.
it’s the dry humor/mono voice combo for me 🤣
haha thanks
Love this channel. Recipes are *chef's kiss*
Aww thanks so much!
Delicious...and we are picky! We will try the baked version with the leftovers! Y'all are awesome peeps...love and peace mixed into everything you do. Thanks!
We are so happy to hear that!

I’m so glad your channel reached me. Thank you for enhancing the energy of the world with your food guidance. ❤️
His voice is so relaxing he should be one those people who narrates or be on the “calm” app
HAHAH, maybe a side hustle LOL
I made this recipe today! My second time actually. Instead of plant based milk I used light cream to blend in the ingredients with the vegetable stock. 🤫 Very yummy recipe! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Just made this and OMG! Best vegan Mac I have made so far. Who knew the key all along was lima beans and oat milk! The only addition I made to mine was Cumin, little turmeric, chilli, cayenne garlic and onion powder. Even my sister who hates any food that imitates traditionally non-vegan food went for seconds. Next is my brother in law. Im going to serve it and see if he even notices. Thank you for the content! this channel has helped me become more confident in being more creative and not making excuses to replace cheese and pizza in general!
We loveeeee this comment! Thank you for sharing and so glad you enjoy it! If you ever have a chance we'd love if you could leave a 5-star rating on the website post
I thought it was butter beans. SO you used green lima beans?
@@MsBugzieBaby I bought large uncooked Lima beans. I believe it takes 2 hrs to cook
@@stepf2892 when you guys say lima beens I think of green lima beans. Butter beans are white, so im assuming you got the white butter beans which from Google states they are also of the ima bean family but are white in colour.
You made me laugh so bad! I just love you humor and your recipes!!! ❤ thx bro🙏 greetings from Switzerland ;)
thank you
Ummm sooo... I just made this and didn’t have any kind of vegan cheese with me so just without it. I’ve made so many other vegan Mac and cheese but this is by far the cheesiest, tastiest, most delicious vegan Mac I’ve ever had 😭
I’m definitely going to have to make it! I was thinking of making my Mac and cheese with cashews, but then I remembered a lot of my family and friends are allergic to nuts. So I’m excited to see how this recipe tastes
@@sowinthecity we hope you love it
we're so happy to hear it worked even without the vegan shreds. Have a great day
I love your blog and now the videos def want to try this!
Thank you! Hope you love it
I think I’m in love with this channel.
Thank you
Holy shit, this man needs some more exposure, why haven't I seen his channel before
Thanks so much, appreciate it
OMG I'm definitely gonna have to try this. I found a recipe that I was gonna try Sunday & I still may since I bought all the ingredients but I will try this one as well. I made your cheeses sauce you used for nachos for my crunch wraps and I was shocked at how good it was because I'm new to the non dairy cheese. You're a keeper! Thank you!
We definitely hope you try ours. If you loved the nacho cheese, you will love this!
I usually don’t do breadcrumbs but it looks like it brought the Mac to a WHOLE new level!
You can omit!
My mans is awkward af lol. It’s cute. I subscribed
I think that's a compliment HA! Thank you for subbing, we're excited to have you around!

I love a man that can cook a mean vegan meal!!! I subbed right away and I’m trying this recipe tomorrow night! 🖤🖤🖤
Hope you like the recipe
Make It Dairy Free, kudos for an excellent recipe!!! I’ve tried other recipes that require blending veggies with nutritional yeast and it never turned out right for me. This recipe has the savory sinfulness a good Mac n cheese has. I loved this recipe and so did my hubby who is a meat eater. Thank you so much 🙏🤤😋😀
@@eunicee999 So happy to hear that Eunice! We hope you have a great weekend.
This looks amazing! May I ask what brand of cheeses did you use?
I can't find it either - did you ever find out? I feel like it's in a link but I'm not seeing it.
@@GenieKR I made a vegan Mac. I used Chao for mines,Along with a Vegan cheese sauce.
This the best cooking video ever, for all the reasons. Thank you! That apron though.
Glad you liked it!
Amazing content, you deserve so much more views !!
Appreciate that, we hope you'll tell a friend or 20 ;)
@@MakeItDairyFree I will! your hard work and devotion will earn what it deserves !!
I made the baked version, it turned out great! Going to try the stove top one next, thank you!!!
Your recipes help convert the skeptics!

I can read the comments, but I don't see where I'm able to leave one.
I just made this! Its in the oven! Can’t wait 😝 to taste it
Well how was it?
Wow then type of beans makes perfect since. I'm a meat and dairy eater and I can see how that can work. I may try
Couldn't find lima beans but I used garbanzo beans and yes. This was so good. Been so long since i had mac and cheese
Great mac & cheese presentation And very entertaining. My family loved it,! Thank you very much. I hit the like and subscribe button. Looking forward to more.
Yummy! I’m going to try this. My husband is a vegan! Thank you!!
Hope you like it!
The Lima bean base has me apprehensive..🤔🤔 but I’m gonna give this a try!! Great content and sense of humor might I add!👍🏾
Making this for the holidays, my mouth was watering the entire video. I can’t wait to try it! Thank you
Hope you enjoy
The baked version looks sooooo amazing. This I will be trying. Thanks for sharing this!
Hope you enjoy
Well heavens be! Looky here! A feast for the eyes. I'm not vegan but lactose intolerant and missing my mac pie but dumb dumb here never looked into vegan cheese! You have inspired me to so especially knowing this could be back on my menu! Thank you!
I still love the style of this video!!!!!
I have to try this asap, my kiddo will LOVE it! 😊
Yes! It was given 4 thumbs up by our kiddos!
I LOVE THIS GUY!!! This is my first video, but definitely NOT my last!!!
Just tried this, delicious 😋. Thank you. Best Mac and cheese I’ve had since being dairy free.
Although this is the longest version I have tried, this is the best tasting version I've made. I add garlic to the roue and it's delicious!
We're so happy that you enjoyed
This makes me wanna make this thankyou for this recipe much love xxx
Looks incredible! Making it tonight for my family 🤞
we hope it's a hit!
You have OFFICIALLY cracked the code!!!!! I hate vegan cheese. This tho!!!!! SLAPS!! Had to make some vegan options for a baby shower tomorrow and I’m shook. I used vegan half and half for the chickpea powder, butter mixture. Really really really good!!!
Mac and cheese looks delish and I just added a new (really old) song to my playlist.
This better not fail me on Sunday ! Lol 😂 I always try a recipe out first before I bring it to a party but on Sunday I’m just gonna make it and have faith that it’s going to be amazing! It looks so good🔥🔥🔥
Looks great! The recipe you linked called for 2.5 cups of uncooked macaroni. That’s less than what comes in most 16oz boxes. Just wanted to double check that you usually have extra uncooked noodles left over?
Yes you only need 2.5 cups uncooked. Save the rest for another recipe :)
@@MakeItDairyFree HOLY COW, this was UNREAL. I’m speechless. I’m so used to adding so many spices to vegan Mac and cheese to make it taste good, but this recipe is simple yet effective. I was so tempted to add garlic/onion powder, ground mustard seed, nutmeg, along with others but I stuck to the original recipe and it couldn’t be any more perfect. THANK YOU, I’m still salivating over this recipe.
I love Mac and cheese. Since I’m lactose intolerant I don’t and haven’t had Mac and cheese in such a long time. I’ve tried other versions and they have not been great. I’m looking forward to trying this one. Looking at the comments I can tell it’s going to be amazing. My one question is do I need the vegan half and half? Or could I just use extra vegan milk?
Thanks for such amazing and inspiring vegan cooking videos. I love watching you and your wife. You have such a beautiful family.
Just non dairy milk
@@MakeItDairyFree awesome! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I will be making this today. I’m very excited. Have a beautiful day and Christmas.
Peace! Love the vibes brother 🙌🏾 gonna make this tonight
enjoy!
I am so glad I found your channel. I can’t eat dairy anymore and this is such an exciting meal I can’t wait to make. Thank you!
This is the best recipe ever!!! I'm in love with Mac n cheese
Thank you!
If you have a minute, we'd love if you could leave a 5-star rating on the website post
I made this last night, and I am now just realizing it. Where does the half and half go? It's on the ingredient list, but not on cooking directions.
This is the third video I’ve watched on your channel and yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and subscribe now...
Thanks so much
Loved the intro about what this mac and cheese is going to do to me and everyone else lol!
Omg thank u folks so much for this recipe I just made it and it’s the best vegan I’ve had by far 5 all day
Made a last minute decision to make this for Thanksgiving yesterday, and my children were so excited! They didn't want to eat anything else. 😆 It's been a long time since we've had some decent mac and cheese. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe.
Awesome video! I’m definitely subscribing!
We appreciate it!
I am so glad I found your channel! I can't wait to make and try this recipe 💚. I love mac and cheese, but dairy cheese is not my friend. Perhaps I can make this for Thanksgiving, and other times when I want mac and cheese lol.
It's our go to on Thanksgiving! We're so happy to have you around!
Andrew is hilarious! The recipe looks sooooo good! Thanks for sharing!
LOL! Thanks :)
Quality channel you got there subbed up my guy
Thanks so much, welcome
Wow this looks AMAZING!!! Definitely going to try this recipe.
I just came across this video. I'm glad I stumbled across it. Half my family is vegan. I have got to surprise them with this! Thanks!
Hope everyone enjoys!
I’m new to the channel and I love it. Did I miss something? I looked in the description, but I don’t see the type of vegan cheese he used. I’ve tried several and can’t find one that I like. Thanks for sharing.
That's my question
Violife
This is awesome, you are awesome, thanks for sharing. May I offer a tiny suggestion? If you want the cheese sauce to be more orangy color (for your doubting vegan guests) just add a but of Turmeric ONE TBSP and some roasted chili powder..1TSP.
It's pretty yellow since we are adding turmeric and paprika! but feel free to add more
