Why Nutritional Yeast?
Simply put, it's AMAZING! This one ingredient makes all the best Vegan cheeses/sauces. You can use it as topping on popcorn or other snacks, melt some on your favorite sandwiches, or add a heaping amount to enhance the flavor in homemade vegan sauces. For this homemade nacho cheese sauce, it's a must to really get that cheesy nacho flavor we want.

What if my sauce doesn't thicken up?
First and foremost, you want to make sure you're adding the right amount of corn starch, which will be our thickening agent. I used 3.5 tbsp, which was the perfect amount to get the consistency I was looking for. If you like your nacho sauce to be extra thick, then go for 4 tbsp of corn starch and let it simmer (while stirring) for an extra 1-2 minutes. If you like your nacho cheese to be on the thinner side, then go for just 3 tbsp of corn starch and don't let it boil for more than 3 minutes.

Anything really. You can customize it with any of your favorite toppings. Here are some of my favorite:
- chopped tomatoes
- scallions
- chopped jalapeños
- banana peppers
- sliced or mashed avocado
- dollops of dairy free sour cream
- roasted chickpeas
- black beans
- corn
