Let me know in the comments what you think? Will you try it? What would you put it on?

Two things and maybe somebody’s already suggested this… The nutritional yeast’s flavour was probably enhanced by the amount of salt they used in the commercial product. And also I have found using roasted red pepper over just regular red pepper gives it more of a queso cheese flavour. Love your content!

Use sauerkraut or the juice from it to make things cheesier! The lactic acid is usually what vegan cheese sauce is missing! Also some sweetener, because dairy is slightly sweet from lactose. I also use doenjjang and umeboshi to layer different fermenty flavors.

Yes! Makes a huge difference! I can never keep them on hand so I usually just halve some red peppers from the garden, stick them skin side up under the broiler until the skin starts to blacken, then peel it when it cools, totally yummy! To add more cheesiness try adding a touch of dijon and some miso.

At lest here in Germany, the ingredients are ranked by weight. So even though nutritional yeast is low at the list, 3 or 4 tablespoons might be correct, because their density is super low. In order to make a difference in the total weight, there has to be quite a volume in there.

Then I added in everything else. I've never had this vegan queso before so I have no idea how close I got but it's good stuff! I didn't have any nachos so I just put it on some potatoes. lol

It will probably develope when stored, as most of the ingredients haven't had time to dissolve fully. They would have used industrial equipment and everything would have been almost powder by the time it went in, including yeast and cauliflower. Then it was maybe superheated prior to packaging which would cook ingredients together rather than blend. Who knows what goes on at production level.

According to the label, the queso has almonds as the third ingredients PLUS almond butter further down the line. The addition of almonds plus the almond butter would make it creamier and more similar to real queso, but also higher in fat.

We liked the final product. My husband is picky about the cheeze sauces but he liked this one. So if you don't have the ingredients, improvise! 😁 Thanks for the recipe!!

This looks amazing! You're like a friendly mad scientist with recipes I love it! Quick tip for cutting the red pepper: Have you tried holding it with both hands and pushing the stem in with both thumbs? The stem and all the seeds attached to the white part fall in. Then you just separate both halves of the red pepper with your hands and voila! Thanks again for the recipe Derek!

Also, while the vegan beef crumble is great, I also love seasoned retried beans and/or black beans on my nachos. The game changer here really is that sauce!

I went plant based whole food eating in December 2020. I tried at least four sauces called cheesy sauce and I disliked all of them. I made a halved version of yours and it passed the taste test!! I used it on my bean and rice and veggie burrito for brunch and I loved it. Thank you. Linda

The Costco queso has almonds as well as the almond butter - that could be why it is creamier. But I just found this last week and I’m obsessed with it so thanks for the recipe!! Yum. Just found your channel - loving it 👍

I'm thinking those almonds would be best soaked overnight and peeled (an easy process) to add creaminess. Seems worth a try! I'll be making this later today, and thanks for your comment, I was going to skip the almonds.

Soaked chia seeds can be used as an egg replacement, so it would add a thicker/tighter consistency. Mustard, especially dijon mustard, can also be great for adding the piquant taste that's found in real cheese too. Still, great video!

I took note of what others said in the comments and it turned out very good. I removed the lemon juice entirely, upped the ACV and almond butter to 1 tbsp each, used 3 tbsp nooch, and added 2 tbsp raw cashews to sub for the almonds used in the original recipe. It's creamy and delicious and came out a great consistency for dipping or nachos.

Oo I saw that queso dip at Costco too but thought it was too expensive and also way too much. Love that you've recreated this - I actually use a 5-minute Vitamix recipe from Jill McKeever and it's a serious mind blower. Base is oats! I have not felt the need to try any other queso recipe since discovering hers. I do love this product recreation idea though, hope to see more :)
