Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray or wipe oil into a 9×13" baking dish. Set aside.
2 Cook noodles to al dente according to package instructions. Don't overcook
because the noodles are getting baked too and you don't want them to be mushy.
Make sure to salt the water. Roughly 1 teaspoon per cup of water. Salting the
water flavors the noodles from the inside out. Drain the noodles and set aside
or if your cheese is ready just mix it together.
3 In a large bowl, whisk the tofu until it's as smooth as you can get it. Mix in
the sour cream, cream cheese, and oatmilk. Stir in the nutritional yeast,
tapioca starch, salt, pepper, ground mustard, and garlic and onion powders. Add
1 tablespoon of olive oil.
4 Add half of the cheddar cheese, 8 ounces of American cheese, and all of the
mozzarella. You will use the rest to top the dish. Stir well to evenly
distribute the shredded cheeses. Stir in the cooked macaroni.
5 Scoop into the prepared baking dish and top with the remaining cheese and
drizzle on the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cover the pan with foil, I
spray mine with oil so the cheese won't stick, and bake on the middle rack for a
total of 35 minutes. After 15 minutes remove the foil and continue baking for
the remaining 20 minutes. You should see bubbling on the sides of the dish and
the cheese on top should be melty. Bake for 5 min longer if there are no bubbles
on the side.
6 Let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving. This rest time allows the custardy
sauce to set and the cheese on top to firm up a little.
