Vegan Chili Mac Casserole

A classic chili mac made with all plant-based ingredients. This one is sure to become a family favorite!

This post really should be titled “Dad’s Chili Mac Goes Vegan.”

Isn’t it funny how just thinking about a certain meal can bring back so many memories?

This classic comfort food takes me back every time.

When I was a kid, my dad made his famous chili mac every weekend so this dish is definitely one of my favorite food memories from childhood.

I can still picture the tiny apartment with its narrow galley kitchen and hear Queen blasting ‘We Will Rock You’ through the speakers of our 70s stereo with the dial tuner.

I’ve tweaked dad’s recipe over the years but not by much.

The main upgrades are swapping meat and dairy for vegan ingredients and the addition of crushed tortilla chips on top.

I hope you love this family favorite as much as we do!

    Great recipe!! I doubled the recipe because my husband has a hearty appetite and I rely on leftovers to pack his lunch for work. I used two taco seasoning packets for my doubled recipe. I also sub black beans instead of the beefless crumbles. I have used other chili mac recipes and they have been fine. I really enjoyed this one. This is the one I will use now. I topped it off with cilantro and green onion. I appreciate how easy the recipe is and can reheat well. Definitely a recipe that a non vegan can enjoy too! Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes!

    This was pretty amazing. Have only been eating plant based for a month, but thanks to folks like you as has been an easy transition.
