Ingredients

  • 720 g (3 c) Chunky Salsa
  • 28 g (2 TBS) Earth Balance Spread
  • 30 g (1/4 c) Oat (or all-purpose) Flour
  • 510 g (2 1/8 c) Silk Unsweetened Soymilk
  • 37.2 g (1/4 c) So Cheezy Seasoning
  • 80 g (1/3 c) Water
  • 5.0 g (1 tsp) Dijon Mustard
  • 12 g (2 tsp) Miso Paste

Instructions

  1. Place a strainer into a bowl, then pour the salsa into the strainer. You want all the liquid to drain away before you add the salsa to the cheeze sauce.

  2. Add the So Cheezy seasoning to the water and whisk it together. Add the mustard and the miso, and whisk again.

  3. Melt the Earth Balance over medium heat, then whisk in the flour. Cook the roux for several minutes until it is smooth and bubbly.

  4. Gradually add the unsweetened soy milk while whisking continuously.
  5. Next, add the cheeze blend, and whisk it in thoroughly.
  6. Bring the sauce to a low boil while whisking continuously. Continue whisking and cooking for several minutes until the sauce is nicely thickened.

  7. Make sure all the liquid has drained from the salsa, then add all the solid chunks to the cheeze sauce. Whisk to combine.

  8. Taste your queso and add Magickal Seasoning Blend or salt to taste. (I add about 2 1/2 tsp of Magickal Seasoning Blend.)

  9. Serve as desired. Any leftover sauce can be covered and refrigerated, and it reheats beautifully.

Recipe Notes

Be sure to use certified gluten free oat flour if you need to eat gluten free. I make my own oat flour from certified gluten free oats.
