Baked Potato with melted Daiya Cheddar and Macaroni
Ingredients
2 large organic Russet potatoes, rinsed, cut in 1/2
4 tbsp. Daiya cheddar sheeze
4 tbsp. Vegenaise original flavor, a delicious vegan sour dream
4 tbsp. Earth Balance
1/2 C organic broccoli, rinsed, chopped
1 tbsp. organic carrot, rinsed, ends removed, thinly sliced
2 tbsp. onion, ends and peel removed, rinsed, chopped
1/2 C Bragg Liquid Aminos
3 Lightlife Smart Dogs, chopped
2 C gluten-free macaroni
1/2 C olive oilInstructions: Use a fork to poke holes in the potatoes so they cook evenly. You can bake them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 1/2 hours. If you have access to 3 or 4 burners, it's very helpful and will be a big time saver. Fill 1 medium size stainless steel pot with filtered water, but leave 3 inches so the water doesn't boil over. Bring to a rapid boil and when it begins boiling, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the macaroni. Stir evenly to prevent sticking and allow to cook for 20 minutes or until soft enough to eat. Fill a 2nd medium size stainless steel pot with filtered water just enough to slightly cover the steamer. Bring the water to a rapid boil and when the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and pour in the veggies. On a 3rd burner, heat 1/2 C olive oil in a nontoxic nonstick fry pan and cook the onions. Stir evenly and allow to cook for 10 minutes until they soften a little, then, add the vegan hot dogs and squirt in 2 tbsp. of Bragg Liquid Aminos. Continue stirring until the hot dogs and onions are soft and lightly brown. When they are soft enough to eat, turn off the burner and set aside.
By now, the veggies should be finished cooking and soft enough to eat. Turn off the burner and thoroughly drain the water. Set aside. Check the macaroni. If it's soft enough to eat, great, if not, let it cook for another 15 minutes. When it's soft enough to eat, turn off the burner and thoroughly drain the water and set it aside. When the water is thoroughly drained, mix all 3 together and season well with Earth Balance and Bragg Liquid Aminos. Now, the final step, put some Daiya cheddar sheeze on the potatoes and put them back in the microwave to melt the Daiya. When the potatoes are cooked enough and the Daiya is melted, top with a tbsp. of Earth Balance and a tbsp. of Vegenaise. You can eat the potatoes separately as an appetizer snack or all of it together as a meal. It's up to you. We ate it all together. The delicious creamy combination was a big hit with my family and is sure to be a delicious big hit with yours. Serve and enjoy!
