Ingredients

  • 3 cups chopped tomatoes ~800g (2 cans)
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar we use coconut sugar
  • 8 cloves garlic - minced/finely diced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 red peppers - chopped into 1" chunks
  • 500 g vegan mince
  • 1 large onion - chopped
  • 3 cups macaroni
  • 200 g vegan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • cup pickled gherkins – chopped, optional

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to gas mark 5/190c.
  • Heat up a frying pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Fry the onions until they start to soften, then add the mince and garlic, and cook for around 5 minutes until you get a light-brown on the mince (if your brand of mince doesn't brown, it's fine, just stop after 5 minutes and carry on to the next step).
    8 cloves garlic, 500 g vegan mince, 1 large onion, 1 teaspoon oil
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients, except for the cheese, and give it a good stir until it's well mixed.
    3 cups chopped tomatoes, 3 cups water, 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 2 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce, ½ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, 2 red peppers, 3 cups macaroni, 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Now, pour the contents of your mixing bowl into a large roasting pan or casserole dish (lightly grease with some oil if it's not non-stick), place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  • After the 30 minutes is up, take it out of the oven and sprinkle the cheese on top, then return to the oven for another 5 minutes or so, until the cheese has melted.
    200 g vegan cheese
  • Sorted - one cheeseburger pasta bake - chuck a few sliced gherkins on top for garnish if that's your thing.
    ⅓ cup pickled gherkins
