"Cheese" Sauce

By
This is such a great recipe! My daughter was helping me make some for enchiladas and kept sneaking bites and saying "yum, cheese!" I decided to make another batch the next day when she started asking for "cheese" again. I made her a grilled "cheese" sandwich which she ate every bite of and asked for another! She ate it so fast, I didn't even have time to take a decent picture! We now double this recipe so we have plenty in the fridge for quick lunches! This is our most favorite "cheese" sauce recipe we've tried so far.

-1/4 cup whole wheat flour
-1/4 cup nutritional yeast (this is not bread yeast!! We order ours online but whole foods has it too)
-1/2 teaspoon sea salt
-1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-1 cup water
-1 teaspoon mustard powder
-2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted

In small sauce pan add flour, nutritional yeast, salt, garlic powder, and water and mix well. Heat on medium heat until bubbly and thick, happens pretty fast! Remove from heat and add coconut oil and mustard.

A few ideas for the cheese sauce we've tried and liked...
-Grilled "cheese" sandwich: use coconut oil or earths balance spread for the outside of the bread and then a layer of "cheese" sauce in the middle. Cook like any other grilled cheese.

-Nachos: Chips, black beans, guacamole, salsa and whatever else you can come up with go great along with this "cheese" sauce

-Baked Potatoes with broccoli and cheese sauce: Bake your potato, on top add steamed broccoli, "cheese" sauce, salt and pepper.

Other ideas we can't wait to use this "cheese" sauce for
mac n cheese
quesadillas
lasagna
pizza
