Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 recipe Vegan Nacho Cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 14 oz vegan meatless crumbles
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 2 cups uncooked elbow pasta other types of paste work also
  • 15 oz fired roasted tomatoes not drained
  • 15 oz red kidney beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Mexican oregano regular oregano works
  • 1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp liquid smoke

Instructions

  • Make the Vegan Nacho Cheese. Set aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot, add oil over medium heat. Add in onions and peppers and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened.
  • Add in garlic and meatless crumbles. Stir together. Let cook for 2 minutes.
  • Pour in 2 1/2 cups of the Vegan Nacho Cheese and all remaining ingredients. stir around until very well combined. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
  • Cover with a lid and cook for 8-12 minutes or until pasta has cooked to al dente, stirring every few minutes so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom.
  • If too saucy at this point, you can leave cover off and let cook for just another minute or not, but do not overcook or the noodles will become mushy.
    If cheesier pasta is desired, add more of the remaining cheese sauce (or save it for another recipe).
  • Serve warm!
