How to Prepare Cheeseburger Mac and Cheese [Vegan]

Make a batch of Vegan Cheese Sauce. While that's making, boil water for the pasta and rehydrate the TVP if you're using it.
Heat the oil on medium-low in a large nonstick saucepan. Add the chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes and let them bloom for a minute or two. Add the textured vegetable protein and sauté for about 5 minutes.
When the cheese sauce is done, stir it into the pan along with the liquid smoke, soy sauce, tomato paste, and almond milk. Turn the heat to low and let everything simmer until the pasta's done. When it's done and drained, fold it in.
