Preparation

This recipe will make enough to serve 4-6 people as a main dish, or 8-12 people as a side dish.

This recipe can be cooked in either a microwave oven on "high," or in a conventional oven at 350 degrees F.

If you are not using canned beans (2 - 15-oz. cans), we suggest that you cook the beans (1 lb.) the day before, and store them in the refrigerator.

Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes, carrots, and onions. Slice them all into bite-sized pieces, place them into a large baking dish, and cook uncovered until the veggies are tender. To ensure uniform cooking, mix every 5 minutes when cooking in a microwave oven, or every 10 minutes when cooking in a conventional oven.

While the potatoes, carrots, and onions are cooking, prepare the un-cheese sauce by placing the drained white beans in the container of a high speed blender. Add the lemon juice, nutritional yeast, and smoke flavor (if desired), cover the container, and run the blender at high speed until the ingredients are creamy smooth (use the tamper as necessary).

When the potatoes, carrots and onions are cooked, add the un-cheese sauce, mix well, and cook for another 5 minutes.

As a main meal, serve and enjoy with a large tossed salad, or serve as a side dish.  Leftovers can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for a few days.  (To enlarge the photo of the potatoes carrots and onions with un-cheese sauce, click on the photo or link)
