“Cheese” Sauce

This recipe is for those that cannot do dairy, yet miss the cheesy goodness. I promise this is a life saver in the cheese department. It is very easy to make too. I made this “cheese sauce to go in a Southwestern Bean and Rice Casserole, which I will share the recipe in an upcoming post.

• 4 tbsp vegan butter
• 1/3 c GF Flour blend
• 3 c almond milk
• 1/2 c nutritional yeast flakes
• 2 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp yellow mustard, dried
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp turmeric, ground
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

In a large pan melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and cook butter/flour mixture until a paste forms, stirring continuously.

Add milk, nutritional yeast flakes, tomato paste, salt, mustard and onion powder.

Bring to a boil, whisking frequently. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until sauce has thickened.

Add lemon juice and stir.

This sauce can be used for so many different dishes.

Enjoy.
