Better Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce

Submitted by britspit

"I modified the Best Vegan Nacho Cheese Sauce recipe to use fresh garlic and onions rather than dried and fresh red bell pepper rather than canned pimentos. There are just two of us so I cut the recipe down and replaced the salt with miso. We like it better this way."
