This recipe is for my husband who's step-mother always makes chicken rotel for him when he comes to visit in Mississippi. This is my vegan version of the classic dish.
Start by first making the
"Cheese Sauce"
2 Medium Onions, chopped
1/4 Cup Vegan Butter
12 oz. Spaghetti noodle (we used brown rice noodles, soooo yummy)
1 Can Peas
2 Cans Rotel (Tomatoes and Chilis)
2 Tbsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos or Soy Sauce
1 Cup Mushrooms, sliced
4 Cups Water
1 Bullion Cube (preferably the no chick'n)
Cheese Sauce (as per recipe above)
Some form of a "meat". We used the Smart Chick'n Strips, but you could use Seitan, Tofu, or Tempeh.
Start by first making the
"Cheese Sauce"
1/2 Cup Nutritional Yeast
1/2 Cup Unbleached Flour
1 Cup Broth (any flavor, I like the no chick'n)
1 Cup SoyMilk
2 Tbsp Vegan Butter
1 Tbsp Yellow Mustard
Garlic & Salt to taste
Dash Soy Sauce
*Mix Flour and Nutritional Yeast in saucepan (NO heat)
*Add Soymilk and mix thoroughly
*Add Broth and mix again (Still NO heat)
*Now turn on stove and whisk continually until creamy consistency
*Remove from heat and stir in remaining ingredients
*(To make a delicious cheese dip: at this point add a can of rotel and some diced jalapenos)

1 Bullion Cube (preferably the no chick'n)
Cheese Sauce (as per recipe above)
Some form of a "meat". We used the Smart Chick'n Strips, but you could use Seitan, Tofu, or Tempeh.
