This is my daughter’s all-time favorite and it disappears quickly. Nutritional yeast makes all the difference and you can get that at most health food stores (I get mine at the Amish Market). Don’t overfill the dish with too much sauce or it will be soupy. I undersize the casserole dish so that it sets up nicely.
Cook time: 20 minutes

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) vegan BUTTER
1/4 cup gluten-free FLOUR

2 tablespoons Vegetable OIL
1/4 cup NUTRITIONAL YEAST
