Note:Upon further review, we have found that using the fake hamburger makes this recipe a little on the salty side. You may want to cut the salt in half for this recipe. If you want to use something other than the fake hamburger (frozen peas for example), use the full amount of salt.

Denise made this for me and I was amazed at just how tasty it was. Try it but don't tell your meat-eater it's vegan!

Ingredients

• 3 1/2 Cups Macaroni (uncooked)
• 1/2 cup vegan margarine
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1 1/2 tsp salt (3/4 tsp salt for less salty taste)
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• a pinch of tumeric
• 1/4 cup oil
• 1 cup nutritional yeast
• paprika
• 1 pack fake hamburger (Green Giant brand works great)

Cook macaroni and set aside. In a saucepan, melt margarine over low heat. Beat in flour with a wisk, continue to beat over medium flame until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Whip in boiling water, salt, soy sauce, garlic powder, and tumeric. Beat well to dissolve the flour mixture. The sauce should cook untill it thickens and bubbles. Whip in oil and nutritional yeast.

Heat fake hamburger in a frying pan. Mix part of the sauce with the noodles, put in a casserole dish. Pour a generous amount of sauce on top and mix together. Mix in fake hamburger. Sprinkle with paprika.

Bake 15 mins in at 350 degree over. Serve.
