BEST VEGAN NACHO CHEESE SAUCE



Best Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce image

Our family loves this vegan cheese sauce. We're not usually that excited with fake cheeses, but this one has been the exception. Tastes great over nacho chips, baked potatoes, in vegetarian tacos, etc. This recipe has helped us enjoy more vegan meals in our home. We got this recipe from our friend Connie Yroc after she shared this wonderful cheese sauce with nachos with our family one day. After almost losing the recipe last week I realized I must post it right away, because we make it so frequently! Hope you enjoy it. Thanks Connie!

Creamy smooth and delicious vegan version of nacho cheese sauce. Great for any Mexican dish, but I like this as a dip for cut up veggies. I've used canned tomato when I had no fresh, and it turned out well, too. Found on living-foods.com
