So I made this by roasting all the vegetables first, then I added more liquid and put it over pasta shells. It was super good! Even my non vegan husband approved!
I’m gonna make it for my non vegan husband and see what he says as well. I’m NOT telling him it’s vegan. Otherwise he won’t eat it.
I used your suggestion first time I made it. OMG that is absolutely delicious!!!
I will try roasting the cauliflower next time instead of boiling it…. roasting always creates a deeper more savory flavor
@@emmalahenry4306 Yay! I'm glad it went well for you too!!
@@pampenney9600 Did he like it? Just curious
I have been vegan TWO MONTHS now!! Thanks to you and other RUclipsrs taking the time to give us recipes like this. THANK YOU!!
I month for me. Loving finding recipes here.
A week for me....loving his show, his energy and cooking skills. His ideas will help me in making healthy various meals for my new diet.
Try roasted red peppers from a jar
That what I was thinking 🦦🌸
@@jennyturner8949 I tried it from the jar, game changer!
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.
ooohhh i love that idea. xxx
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, all the above and red miso too!!
whaaaaaat? as a dutch person i approve this message and shall try! i heard of olive brine in a cashew cheese i wanna do saurerkraut would be healthier...
i was just saying to my fiance yesterday, "they discontinued the vegan queso at costco so im going to figure out the recipe myself from the pic i took of the ingredients"... you beat me to it! 👍
Haha you might be able to do better though!
Omg I just made this cheeze sauce and of course I doubled the recipe....soooooo good!
Check Walmart
This is a new product at Costco in Canada.
It was a sad day when I found that last bottle hidden behind some oily hummus at Costco
You’re the vegan sauce boss
Haha that's such a good name.
Sauce boss ayyy
@@Simnettnutrition Your next cookbook! Vegan Sauce Boss by Derek lol
you'll need to pay alec his royalties 😋😋
@@Simnettnutrition Although I can't feel comfortable just eating as much sodium as you usually put 😅
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!
I’m married to a Canadian, when I heard you say process and eh, my husband and I looked at each other and said “he’s Canadian” love it
I don't even prepare my own food, I'm just here to watch Derek being passionate about food haha
Haha so glad it comes across. Who prepares your food?!
Lol same, my mom prepares most my food rn 😂
@@Simnettnutrition i live on-campus so it is usually precooked vegan options etc. When I'm at home, my grandma cookes for us who is a vegetarian
I cook but I don’t tend to make recipes I watch. So I second you in a way, I just love these videos 😂❤️
I like how so many people can relate... lolol Although I do use recipes from here like a tenth of the time... haha
I'm sorry I have to say that I love it when you're super excited about sharing a recipe with us because you're just bouncing around the kitchen like a happy puppy it's actually adorable! I will try this recipe btw 😂
Haha yah I was hyped about this one!
You can tell, I think you're sauce recipes are my favourite videos just because of your enthusiasm is on another level. Have a great day Derek ✌️
adorable in a sexy, manly way, however 😉
@@sarahdee374 I subscribed😜
Hi. Super recipe. I've tried other nacho cheese recipe and I must say yours is the best. Even my cousin who is not vegan, loved it. I was so happy to see him so excited that he asked for a bowl full so he can have it with tortilla chips. Well done my friend, well done.😊
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.
@@melian7403 just look up the difference between "volume %" and "mass %" Just because something makes up the gratest mass of the whole, doesn`t mean that it makes up the gratest volume.
Just wanted to point that out.
Cheers
I believe this is it! At production level, the measurements should be in weight. I'm here lamenting that he didnt put the ingredients in grams cuz that makes following recipes so much easier also lol
I just made this and it's surprisingly good. A couple things I did differently than you was I blended some chia seeds and almond slivers at the very start. I also added a spoonful of salsa. 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
I've found that apple cider vinegar tastes closer to the cheddar cheese sauces than lemon juice does. Maybe try that next time? And a tsp of white miso would rock it.
Nice! Yah maybe no lemon and add a bit extra ACV.
Great idea!
I made one with 2 tsp of miso ( bought at the local farmers market) today and it tastes like cheese sauce with beer in it. So weird, but I agree that the acv ones seem closer to tasting cheesier. My mission to the best cheeze sauce continues. Thanks again!
apple369 yep! I always add miso.
So it sounds like you did not watch the whole video
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.
Yes everything vegan is fake made in lab with chemicals completemy unnatural
@@hjelpen5387 You say fake, we say crazy creative genius.
And what is natural about forcefuly breading(raping), genetically manipulating, growing in confinement, injecting with antibiotics (and suplements and hormones), slaughtering in an industrial line of production, cutting into symmetrical cuts (so you know, it doesn't look like what it is, which is a corpse), cooling or even freezeing (so it doesn't petrify like it does in nature within 24 hours), packaged and transported to a grocery store, bought and then cooked and seasons so it loses its natural taste (which is basically nothing + iron) and approaches as much as possible plant based seasons (vegan seasons), then heat it up throughly so it becomes none-lethal to humans and years later have to take satins to deal with blocking arteries (best case cenário) or chemo for colon cancer.
@@hjelpen5387 No. A lot are, just like non-vegan options, but a lot are just made using a process we call "cooking" lol. That always changes the end product!
@@veganocapitalista WOWEE KAZOWEE!! BRILLIANT RESPONSE SHALOM SERUSSI!! LOVED IT!!
that dopey fucker wont say everything vegan is fake again!! LOL
LOVE YOUR WORK!! YOU ROCK MAN!!
Your version even smells like the store bought version!! Second batch here already, smothering it on EVERYTHING!!!
LOL
I've always been intrigued by veganism for my health but could never stick with it! I became allergic to red meat thru a tick bite a month ago and thought, well this is a good time to start! You have been an amazing help to my transition, so thank you!! Your personality is infectious, keep it up!!!
Wow that’s too bad but kinda good. Haha. I got a tic bite a few years back, I wonder if I am allergic to meat now too! Hopefully the rest of your health is fine. This is so interesting to me though. I heard about this but didn’t really know of anyone who it has happened to.
He is THE best for transition. Then he just becomes part of your week...Just completely genuine and very informative.
@@muchasalud2011 EWWWWW!! did u just advise: "eat lots of animal fat"???
PISSS ORFFFFF!! FFS!!
They just got onto the healthiest way of eating for life.
why advise em to block all their arteries eating poor sad slaughtered animals?? that is insulting!
and all your bullshit about "promising theyll heal" if they eat more butchered fat corpses is just GARBAGE!
Anyone confused by crap statements such as alba maria del valles, go to a FACT BASED website where everything is RESEARCHED and proven SCIENTIFICALLY before being reported!
nutritionfacts.org
You got this!
Kyle Tell, Sorry to hear about your tick problems but it’s great that you’re starting a vegan lifestyle! Derek’s food is amazing and his chanel is generaly great and very positive. Check out his Facebook group for support.
Another youtuber to look for is Mic The Vegan, for great health related information.
There are so many tasty and simple recipes out there, you will love it. Enjoy!
Went straight to the kitchen to make this since I had all the ingredients! Absolutely loved it, including the nachos (I added some beans to mine and cooked the crumbles in taco seasoning). Amazing, my non vegan family didn’t know the difference! 🎉
Derek! If you look at the ingredients list from the store bought one there are ALMONDS! I think that's the reason why it's cheesier and more creamy!
(Btw, vegan love from Spain!! 💪🏻🥰)
Super excited to try this out man!
Definitely can’t wait to make this!
One of the few videos where Derek doesn't burn his mouth. 😂
But seriously, a fun video & can't wait to try making this sauce soon!
I’m so addicted to this queso ~ thank you!!!
Ohhh thanks for all the kitchen inspo!
Can’t wait to try this!
Love how hyped you are about creating vegan recipies. Also the shirt look is faineeee!!!
Gonna look for this in the store but if I can't find it I'l definitely make this! Looks so good!
Looks amazing!
This came out really good! Thank you for a new recipe!
So excited, trying this tonight! Thanks for all the content brother!
Heck ya! You are welcome, thanks for watching.
I love that product. I use it on everything-potatoes, pasta, tortillas, rice. Excited to try your recipe!!
I'll definitely try this. Thank you for the content, broder!
This looks SO good!!
Thank you!! Just made this. Definitely the best "cheese" consistency I've found! Better than potato carrot or cashew recipes. Thank you!!
My Costco doesn’t sell this, but my Aldi does. I love it and I’m excited to try your recipe! 🤪
Wow Derek that looks amazing, I'm definitely going try this out!!
Definitely going to make tonight! ❤️ Thank you Derek & Crystal you’re the best!
Tastes amazing! I had to use steamed frozen cauliflower and jarred roasted bell pepper but it tastes just like the store bought! 5 stars!
Our Walmart regularly carries that exact brand, but only in the smaller container. It’s found in the produce vegan section near the kombucha. I put it on everything! Super excited to try this recipe though!!! When I first read the ingredients, I also thought, “I have all that at home!” Thanks for being so determined in nailing this down😆
Thank you Derek!!! 🙏💚
Love. This is just Love! Thanks Derek!!!
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!
I've been trying to recreate it as well since the ingredients are so simple! Thank you for saving me the hastle of yet another failed attempt 😅 also just a tip... for the red pepper if you use the roasted red pepper that come in a jar is better!
You make me drool!!I can't wait anymore to get back and try your recipes!!
Omg! Thank you for sharing!! Looks so yummy!
Thank you!
Try blending chia seeds to powder and adding a bit-maybe a teaspoon. It will thicken and make it smoother.
I was thinking the same thing. I believe that's what they meant by "chia protein".
im thinking that or even soaking it first.
Niice! So glad you recreated this vegan queso! When you showed the one from costco I was so envious (we don't have costco here). Thank you! Perhaps you could try to add some white miso with more nutritional yeast? I always add miso to my vegan cheese sauces, it's 👌. Love your positive attitude, both of you!
Yes yes, that's what a few people have said! Give it a try and let us know how it is!
This is amazing!
Definitely giving this a go, thank you
Love this! You two are so cute!
When reading the title I thought you were gonna user cashews, very original use of cauliflower 😱
I know, I would have gone the cashew route if I was starting from scratch! I actually bought some just in case I needed them because I was skeptical. Haha.
Simnett Nutrition Interesting! Definitely looked great without them
@@Simnettnutrition so why did you skip the almonds? That was like the 3rd ingredient
It's not original, if it was on the label
@@straightedgeveganbel2453 i wondered that too? cos maybe the addition of the whole almonds is the mysterious thing he felt was missing from his? not that there was anything wrong with his....just that he was comparing his to the store bought..and said the store bought has an extra SOMETHING??
hes pretty logical tho, and if you are adding almond butter thats JUST 100% ALMONDS, he may have just doubled the almond butter amt & figured that covers the addition of whole almonds too?
This is brilliant, can't wait to try! Will be sharing with friends!!
Love you guys so much. Can’t wait to make this tomorrow.
The accent at 14:10 is amazing, really interesting to hear people talk when they don't "clean it up" so that everyone understands them
I can not hear it, but I am Canadian. Mystery to me!
The chilli + paprika will give you a close match to the cayenne pepper 😀
Ahhh thanks. Yes, it had cayenne in the ingredients but I didn't have any that I could find.... so I guess I made it instinctively. Haha.
I like that store bought queso dip, so I’m extra excited to try your take!
That looks so delicious!
I’ve got a lonely cauliflower in the fridge that needs to be eaten. This sauce is definitely happening!
I bet you the company cooks theirs and use a high speed blender. To make vegan cheese smooth and cheesy, yes the N.Y. but a high speed blender and then break it down on the stove top. Love the video
Looks amazing! Need to try it!
Looks Amazing Thank you for all you do!
Wait I can't eat this as a meal! : )
I wonder if baking the red pepper, cauliflower and possibly the onion would add a different flavour. Would also make blending it easier for people with blenders that might not handle the veggies as well. Just a thought.
Roasting the bell pepper would add different flavor. That's usually what I do when I make sauces
Loved the recipe and the tropical song in the background 😂
This looks delightful!
Yes!!! I wanted to do this too! But I’m so glad you did because you are better in the kitchen.
I love making this queso sauce. It has great flavor. I did make one change that made it really creamy. I replaced the almond butter with a 1/4 cup soaked cashews. I really enjoy your channel. Your food looks and tastes great!!
Excellent idea!
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.
Wow this looks great, definitely cooking it!
Love your videos and appreciate your good vibes! :D
Damn bro the title didn't disappoint, Nooch is life!
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 :)
Truly awesome Jill Mckeever recipe. Thank you Jvlia
Great ideas! Thank you. I am going to try. 😊
I’m SOOOOO excited to try this because I LOVE that Queso dip!
I literally just bought the queso from costco yesterday, so if I like it then I will definitely try this 😄
It's no good. Please send it to my PO Box in the description for appropriate disposal. ;)
Good idea!
Heather, where do you live? I wonder if is only sold in Canada?
Could you tell me the costco item#?
@@Elizabeth-dg8dn I am in Canada! Not sure of the number of the item
@@Elizabeth-dg8dn It's sold in the US as well)
Amazing! I remember finding this product at Target as well.
Also perhaps maybe lightly toasting the nutritional yeast in a pan first for more cheesy flavor ? No more than 20 secs.
Thanks for sharing!
What about sticking to the original recipe? His recipe is awesome, and it's better than your modification of it. You ma'am, are a fuzzle wuzzle!
Contrary to others in this comment section, I think your suggestion sounds good (:
I've never heard of toasting nutritional yeast. I'm intrigued.
@@charlesfraunhofer7893 you toast spices to bring out the flavor in dried ingredients the same makes sense for nutritional yeast as well
I finally made this and man it is good. Great job!!!!
Always so excited when a new Derek video comes out. Whatever you make it always looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it. Thanks so much for all your efforts ❤️
Never tried queso before. But no need anymore since I have this sauce :D
I love when that Canadian accent sneaks out of his mouth.
I can’t hear it, but then I am Canadian
this looks awesome! thank you!
I can’t wait to make this!! 👏👏❤️
I'd be curious to see how grilling/baking/roasting the caulflower impacts the final product. Just a thought.
YES!!
And the bell peppers
Me: Looks at ingredients on packet... too lazy to put together ingredients so just continues to buy :’)
Love the music
This looks fantastic! Nice job, brother!
Wow, you're recipes and sauces just keep getting better and better!
This looks bomb! I’m curious as to why you omitted almonds, since that was also on the ingredient list.
It was almond butter.... right?
Heidi Minett It listed both almonds and almond butter
@@alyinn_78 you are right. I just looked at my container. I was thinking it was in conjunction of almond butter....as in "Almond butter (ground almonds) ...." in the ingredients list. Thank you for pointing it out! I want to try and make this!
I think that's why the store bought is creamier than his, too.
alyinn78 If you try make sure you soak the almonds first or it could get gritty
Try using soaked cashews next time, I think that might make the difference n the cheesy factor.
Definitely does!!
More nooch is the bomb
This sauce looks amazing! I tend to just watch your videos because I love them/your channel/you and Crystal. But I might make this one! Thanks for uploading!
Amazing video, thanks for the recipe!!!
The ingredients are listed in order by weight. Nooch is so so light that it makes sense that it's low down the list but volume is more than you'd expect🙂
Ohh i wish simnett could see this comment
Loving that music 🎶 love your channel!! I also make healthy recipes on my page ❤️❤️❤️ have to make this!
Thanks so much! I always try to carefully select it and wonder if anyone ever notices.
Love your energy, guys :)
Perfect!!! I've been wanting to recreate this dip also! Thank you so much for doing the hard work for me! 😁👍
If you make their Cilantro Dip I will literally start throwing money at you. Haven't been back to ALDI since the start of COVID...
I didn't see you put in the almonds, it is one of the first ingredients ? (Not the butter, the actual almonds)
Wow, it looks so delicious!! Thank you!!!
Trying these tonight!!! Thanks for keeping me healthy 🍽
Hi Derek! How about making hummus?
It's so easy!!! But it would be great to put in a video like my top 5 favourite snacks or something.
@@Simnettnutrition there are a few different flavors of hummus now. Maybe you could trust a few of those. Black bean hummus, yam hummus, curry, etc. I saw a few in Walmart deli when I used to shop there.
@@Simnettnutrition I would love if you could recreate Sabra classic hummus. It has a tang I cannot seem to duplicate. Thank you for this recipe. In Minnesota this brand is sold at Cub, Costco, Target and a few other groceries
"Vegan food is so restrictive!"
Derek: 14:37
Thanks, Derek. Have a great week.
Looks SO AWESOME AND AMAZING
