Cheesy sauce - delicious and nutritious!

Do you love you some cheesy sauce? I know I do! I originally found this recipe from vegweb, but I think it may be from a cookbook, or at least a variation of a cookbook recipe. Cheesy sauce is awesome on nachos (especially if you add some spice to it), but also great as a topping for baked potatoes, on broccoli, or mixed with pasta for some good old mac and cheese. Here's how I do it:

1/4 cup nooch, 1/4 cup flour, whisked together with 3/4 cups water on medium heat
stir often as it thickens quickly!

Once it's thickened, add a dash of olive oil, a good squirt of mustard, and 1 t. garlic powder
I also added some cayenne pepper

Mix it together and use it asap! It will over-thicken if you're not careful

Put it on some nachos! Or whatever. Add deliciousness AND vitamins and minerals! I actually just had a lot of bloodwork done, and my B12 level was great. I totally think it's all the nooch!

I put cheesy sauce on everything! I love, love, love it. Last night, I made a cashew cheese sauce for mac and cheese (with lots of nooch in it of course)...and kept licking the bowl and all the spoons I used. I live on cheesy sauce and nothing else if I had to.

BTW, I showed my freezer per your instructions....

How simple, I hate the kinds of recipes that have millions of ingredients and they aren't even good. This sounds like my kind of sauce!

God, that looks good. I think I like cheezy sauces more than I like actual dairy cheese!
