Tofu Macaroni

[Anonymous]

By Kim Birney

This really tastes like macaroni and cheese - the homemade kind, not the Kraft kind.


1 pound extra firm tofu (500gr)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 eggs
1/4 cup cream
salt and garlic powder (to taste)
Smash up the tofu with a fork. Mix all the other ingredients and add to the tofu. Put the mixtures in a casserole dish and bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is bubbly and lightly browned on the top.

Serves 4

Okay, I was a little skeptical of this recipe but I figured why not? and gave it a try. I am very impressed! I made mine with a crushed clove of garlic instead of the garlic powder but otherwise everything else was the same. yum! Don't let the tofu part scare ya!

thank you!! I am going out to the store right now to get some tofu-- I miss Macaroni +cheese so much (homemade)

I hope this is ok to eat during induction!!!

Tried this tonight...what to say? Well...the cheese was really, really good. Maybe I didn't make my tofu pieces small enough. I took the time to actually slice my tofu into fairly small strips. Even with all the cheese, the bland tofu taste seemed to overwhelm the dish.

I'm not giving up on it, yet. I've never been a tofu person, but I want to make this WOE work and a mac n cheese substitute seems basic. I'll try again someday.

I wanted to try this recipe soo bad. When I went to the grocery store, I only found soft tofu. So, it is printed and waiting for me when I find the right tofu. Thanks! I had never tried tofu before other than one time in a smoothie. I look forward to making this recipe!

I made this tonight and loved it. I was worried when I was mashing the tofu (I used a potato masher) because I DO NOT like tofu. But this was great!

Next time, I'd probably add a little butter and a bit (not much) more cream, but it was wonderful!

Looks like an interesting recipe. What's the carb count per serving?

tried this tonight, and I loved it! I could see how someone who didn't previously like tofu wouldn't like it though.

thanks for posting it!
