Since my name is Amber, I can't wait to try this. :)

Try plain (or sans) cream cheese, and add some salsa. :lick:

You had me until the VANILLA soymilk :eek:

I don't know why vanilla soymilk makes vegan mac-n-cheese taste cheesier, it just does. At least for me. Weird, but true.

I figure hey, I'm mixing soy milk with yeast and spices already. How much weirder can it get? :p

I usually make pasta with yeast, unsweetened plain soy milk and spices so I don't think that is weird at all but I have to say I've never had a happy taste experience using sweet vanilla soymilk in savory recipes like mac and cheese or mashed potatoes :D

Hey I put down the exact ingredients that created the wonderful taste in my home. Using different ingredients than stated .. . will no longer be "Amber Macaroni"

Trust me I made this twice already and the second time I tried to see if certain ingredients could be left out.
ie.. used just the soymilk, tomato sauce and nutritional yeast - tasted it (no, not good enough)
Added just the vegan margarine (no, that's still not it)
etc..
