When I was first getting into “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” back in 2018, I spruced up my mac and cheese recipe with a little seitan and Brussels sprouts, so when I started brainstorming ideas for Veg Out, this pairing was one of the first that I wrote down for development.

Unlike back in 2018, this recipe is vegan, making 4 “servings.” Unfortunately, it’s not gluten-free due to the seitan. If you know of a gluten-free seitan, please drop the name in the comments.

Ingredients
8 ounces vegan pasta, cooked
8 ounces vegan cheese, shredded
1 8-ounce package chorizo seitan
1 12-ounce bag frozen Brussels sprouts

Instructions
Cook your pasta according to its packaging instructions. You can stick to the traditional macaroni pasta here or switch it up with a different shape like we did. We used a lupini bean-based rotini.

While the pasta is cooking, heat your sprouts and seitan in a frying pan.

We used a chorizo-flavored seitan. If you have a plain seitan, I recommend adding seasonings or sauce of the spicy variety to your pan, e.g. hot sauce, sriracha, red pepper flakes or chili powder (or black pepper if you want to play it more safe). Bonus points if it has witch, Satan, Lucifer, devil or hell in the name.

Strain your pasta then put it back in the pot.

Stir in the cheese (we used a vegan colby jack), sprouts and seitan.

Serve and enjoy with as many episodes of “CHAOS” as you can handle!

The Easy Route
For making this at home, it really doesn’t get much easier, especially considering I used a bag of shredded cheese and my seitan was already crumbled and seasoned.

You could use a frozen or boxed vegan mac and cheese then add in the seitan and sprouts.

If you have a restaurant near you that makes vegan mac and cheese with seitan and Brussels sprouts, please share those details in the comments.

The Pairing
I finally finished watching the fourth and final season of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” earlier this year, and I was sad for it to end.

I’ll admit I was skeptical about the show going into it, as I grew up loving the 1990s “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” show and was unsure of how well the daughter from “Mad Men” would adapt to this role.

It turns out all my skepticism was misplaced. Kiernan Shipka is pitch perfect as Sabrina in this decidedly darker take on the tale of the teenage witch.

Shipka’s costars also made this show worth watching, from Miranda Otto and Lucy Davis as her beloved aunties to Jaz Sinclair, Lachlan Watson, Ross Lynch, Tati Gabrielle and Gavin Leatherwood as her classmates at Baxter High School and the Academy of the Unseen Arts. And I personally think Chance Perdomo steals the show as Sabrina’s cousin, Ambrose.

While I loved the lighter ’90s show, I was absolutely enthralled by this 21st-century take and didn’t want it to end.
