Not Cheese Sauce
It may not actually be cheese, but this Not Cheese Sauce is the closest thing. Featuring Bored Cow animal-free dairy milk and infused with savory nutritional yeast and tart lemon juice, this vegan-friendly and gluten-free recipe pairs perfectly with salty nachos, loaded tacos, and crispy french fries. Perfect for plant-based eaters, lactose intolerant folks, or cheese lovers who want to switch things up (and help the planet by doing so). Just be warned — you may never go back to regular nacho cheese.
