Your husband has a talk radio show. I could listen to him for hours

[@melissaro6831]

Try adding chopped pickled jalapeños and a tablespoon of the liquid from the jar. It’s a game changer for “queso” cheeze sauces.

[@crystalweeks7816]

Agreed! I do this too.

[@lindagoldsberry4235]

Melissa Ro sounds delish will try!

[@sfree322]

Yes! Exactly what I do!

[@SarahM-lw2gd]

I love doing this!

[@thriftyvegan73]

I do this as well. It’s the bomb.

[@KellyS_77]

Jill McKeever’s sauce is my go-to sauce when I make it at home instead of just buying TJ’s cashew fiesta dip. I always make a half-recipe though, I just have a little bullet blender. I have to heat it up on the stove to get the sauce to thicken. I don’t use as much liquid smoke as the recipe calls for, and I usually add some diced jalapeno’s. Her recipe makes a HUGE amount because she is a family of 4 and has 2 teenagers that eat a lot :)

[@vibrantlyjessica]

You can always make Jill's cheese sauce in an inexpensive blender and then transfer it to the stove or microwave it to really activate the corn starch and bind the sauce if you don't have a high speed blender! :)

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

Life with Jessica it tastes like real cheese when cooked well 😃

[@elishevahgodfrey3888]

Yes, I've done this when visiting my kids who don't have a high-speed blender. It works!

[@icwilson]

So glad you added this Life with Jessica. Since we're "Esselstyn" WFPB we don't eat nuts. And, the recipes with carrots and potatoes always have a "slime" factor that I don't like at all. Jill's cheesy sauce works so well even without a high-speed blender (which I don't have). I use the stovetop to make it. Tastiest and easiest recipe that, without nuts, means it's actually oil-free which equals better for your heart and for weight loss, too.

[@tara1638]

You actually don’t even need the cornstarch.

[@judithrutt4835]

I love this. I half the recipe and transfer to pot fir heat which lets you control the thickness.

[@mistygoldstone8068]

It's a delicate touch to be able to comment on 4 different dishes that friends or colleagues made without offending anyone. 🤣 You guys did a great job being careful with your descriptions and critiques. Thanks!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Yes LOL! Thank you :)

[@wholoveskitty]

My favorite thing to do with Jill’s game changer cheese sauce is to cook some red potatoes, put corn and black beans on top of the potatoes and drizzle that cheese sauce over it all. Soooo good! 😊

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Sounds good!!

[@Melkhi]

This is how I tweak Jill's cheese sauce for a Nutribullet: 1/2 c. oats 1/4 c. nutritional yeast 1 T. up to 1/4 c. raw cashews - optional; I don't add cashews anymore 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 c. roasted red pepper 1/4 c. diced onion (I keep some diced onion in the freezer to make this quickly) 1 T. lemon juice 4 drops liquid smoke 2 cups water I do not use corn starch, because the oats thicken perfectly well heated on the stovetop. It also works better on pasta without the corn starch. In the regular nutribullet, the water won't all fit in the largest cup, but I just stir the rest of the water into the rest of the ingredients when heating. The water will all fit into the tallest cup for the 900 series Nutribullet.

[@TargetProv31]

Thanks for sharing this ❤️

[@sfzombie2473]

Thanks I’ll try this one today .

[@njxn0275]

Thank you!

[@pda2836]

So thorough!! I would never go to the trouble of making 4 sauces and comparing. Thanks for all the hard work!!! ❤️

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

For the Jill McKeeve cheese, it is best to cook in a pan after blending, it as this gets rid of the oat flavour and makes it so so yummy

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

I noticed after a few days in our fridge, the oat flavor seemed to go away! It is very tasty!

[@marshhomestead4963]

I felt like the oats made it slimy. What did I do wrong?

[@o0jayne0o]

1/2 Jill's recipe except for the smoke sauce, omit the salt, blend a can of Rotel in with it.. makes it more like a queso!

[@florafinching]

I HATE washing my blender, so the fact that you had to do it four times for this video humbles me. Thanks for all you do! I'm 48 pounds down since last summer, and you two get a lot of the credit for that. Think I'll try Brittany's recipe and see how well it works on a baked potato with broccoli. :-)

[@GreginND]

Blender washing tip. Add some hot soapy water, cover the lid with a towel and turn it on.

[@seeker4569]

I would also recommend adding a tablespoon of baking soda along with the soapy water. It literally scrubs during the blending process, and also gives it a squeaky clean polished look in the end. :). These things will work if you don't wait too long to clean it after each use. If you can't clean it right away, do a quick rinse, and then let it soak in hot water.

[@sadiedesimone7460]

M * L * A, who is Brittany? Thank you!

Hello Brian & Jessica, you helped me on my journey to losing weight. Although I didn't do the whole potato diet thing, I did use you for inspiration and chose to do the intermittent fasting and have lost 24lbs so far. I was 236lbs now down to 212lbs, would like to be 180 or 190. Thank you

I appreciate you taking time to give notes on each cheese sauce as far as prep and etc.

[@gwenvann7279]

I can’t wait to see a Krock cheese sauce in my future!

[@alicecooper1066]

The oat based cheese sauce is my favorite! My friends and family can’t tell it is not cheese. I do add some miso, smoked flavor and a little chipotle! Yumm

[@elishevahgodfrey3888]

Yep! My biochemist daughter-in-law couldn't even tell it wasn't cheese!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

@@elishevahgodfrey3888 Wow!! :D

[@BusyLizzy_]

I also do a few add-ins to boost the flavour depending on what I'm using it for... add some mustard powder and garlic powder and it is a perfect Mac n Cheese sauce! I also like it with the smoked flavour (I use some smoked paprika) or chipotle. I am going to try the miso... that is a great idea!

[@bobokay1]

Jill does state she makes so much because she had two teenage children. I have twin almost 13 yr olds and an almost 8 yr old. The bulk works for family size portions. Love you.

[@jenniferlink7520]

Yeah when I made it I halved the recipe. It made 1.5 mason jars worth.

[@JazzyGems111]

Brand New Vegan’s recipe is my absolute favorite!!!! I make it in my insta pot. So fast and delicious! (I do love cashews in cheese sauces but I can’t lose weight eating them so I need to stay away). Tip: try basting the tortillas with lime juice, garlic powder before baking. Soooo good!!!

[@KJ99otis]

Jazzy Glass Gems - great tip on the chips!!! I’d also dust with onion powder.

[@elishevahgodfrey3888]

Oh, nice tip!!!! Thanks!

[@cb3501973]

Same here, this one is MM compliant and it freezes well. Thank you for the chip tip!

[@susanmorris1188]

Soaking the cashews over night in water makes them creamier when you blend them! Just a tip!

[@carab6857]

They all sounded great, the one I’ve made which I love is from Dillon at Well Your World. It’s got an awesome kick to it x

[@sunshinedeb]

Great video guys thanks for sharing... I make Jill's cheese sauce then I add salsa to it and it is really good, a game changer! Try adding salsa to all of them you might be amazed of what you'll end up with...✌️💕😋🥮

[@Kari936]

I make jill’s Sauce. Don’t have vitamix so warm and thicken on stove top. I also use salsa instead of peppers and like it better.

[@ejwilliams2002]

Yeah, I was looking for this comment. I don't have a high speed blender and I just heat it up on the stove too. This is my absolute favorite cheese sauce!!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Great idea!

[@michelepayton6922]

I think that roasting the butternut squash would add flavor to that one.

[@lynnfendlason4277]

Like others have said, Jill's microwaved with a bit of ground pickled jalapeno and a bit of the jalapeno brine and it is perfection. yum!

[@lesleyf3049]

I make Jill MCKeever's cheese sauce all the time. You don't need a Vitamix for it, just blend it a minute or so until smooth in a Nutra bullet or even an old Oster blender. It will be very liquidy. Pour it into a saucepan on a medium heat and whisk constantly for a couple of minutes or so and it will get as thick as you want it. I also portion it out into smaller containers, refrigerate some and freeze the rest because I don't use it all right away. It freezes well. it firms up in the fridge and I slice it and use it for grilled cheese sandwiches.

[@mikaylaknaebel2729]

My go to cheese sauce is from the Thug Kitchen 101 cookbook. It calls for oil, but I make it without the oil and it’s perfect. It calls for Rotel tomatoes also 👍🏻

[@wholoveskitty]

I stopped the video just before your reviews. Jill’s game changer cheese sauce is our favorite. 😊❤️👍🏻. Okay now to finish the video. 😊

[@michellejubb5489]

Yes!! I love Jills too and it does not taste oaty to me or my friends. It has a great Queso taste

[@shelleyanne3522]

Love this review of the cheeses sauces. Actually I like how your channel has a variety of content. Good work

[@lindacharlene46]

My most favorite cheese sauce is the Vegan 8 Easy Vegan Mexican Cheese Sauce. It is simply cashews, salsa, water, nutritional yeast and cumin. All my non-vegan friends love it and request it when having parties. I believe it can be made with white beans to reduce amount of fat. Try it - you’ll love it. My second favorite is Donna’s cheese sauce from Nutmeg Notebook. Similar ingredients to Chuck’s with seasoning variations so fat free. This is my everyday cheese sauce. Always have some in fridge.

[@AelinAlex]

White bean cheese sauce would be interessting

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Oooh... good idea!

[@inspiteofbecauseof4745]

Plentiful Kiki has my favorite cheese sauce recipe with a variation using white beans.

[@susanneattia5953]

Yes plantiful Kiki her cheese sauce is out of this world, I haven’t tried her white bean variation yet but planning to prepare for next week.

[@robind.2290]

I have tried several "cheese sauce " recipes. My favorite "cheese sauce" so far has been the potato based sauce. I just love the consistency, very much a comfort food for me. You can change the favor by added different spices.

[@susanneattia5953]

Robin D. Have you tried the one from @plantifulkiki?

[@barbaraliston5959]

This was a fun video! About 2yrs ago, I studied the cheese sauces on offer here on youtube and made my own creamy, yummy version wfpb-sos. It's a combo of Brittany's and BNV's, [uses no nutritional yeast] Here it is-- 2med potatoes, 1 carrot, 1/4 med onion, boiled, then into blender w/1c boiling water, 1/2c cashews, 1tsp ea onion,garlic powder, 1/4tsp ea turmeric,mustard powder, 1-2Tbsp lemon j, 1tsp ume plum vinegar. It makes a quart. I put some in a squirt bottle for drizzling over chili or hot vegs. I'm tempted to add a pepperoncini or chipotle for some heat. Yes Jessica its freakin amazing how vegetables, spices and nuts can taste cheesy! I'll be sharing your throw-down!

[@kittykat717]

Please clarify ume plum vinegar?

[@amysteele6540]

Your camera quality is so crispy. I love it

[@thriftyvegan73]

I love Jill’s game changer sauce on its own or as a base,....and I don’t mind the oaty flavour at all. The primary reasons it’s the go to for me is the quick prep, the huge batch (big plant based a family over here) and the no cashews. I’ve resigned myself to never being able to lose or maintain weight with cashews in the mix so this sauce is just perfect for us.

[@poolnoodle5311]

Peef's like, It's not easy being Cheesy.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

😂So you know after we filmed, we mixed the remaining of our tasting samples together into a SUPER CHEESE SAUCE! hahaha. It was good!

[@ladyatlarge3844]

Jill McKeever's has been my favorite for a long time, I omit the corn starch and it turns out thick enough with the oats. I love so many of her recipes. :) Now off to actually watch the video. :D After watching the video I have to say that I've never been the type to stick to a recipe perfectly. With Jill's I doctor it up for spice and use miso or pickled jalapeno liquid instead of the salt as well as add more liquid smoke if needed.

[@mollymoerdyk1682]

I love The Jaroudi Family nacho sauce, love it. Also love The Whole Food Plant Base Cooking Show's Mac & Cheese sauce (just had it for dinner!).

[@doright9681]

I appreciate the work you two put into these. Thank you

[@missinglink_eth]

I think these are all good but they all taste like veg or nutritional yeast to me. If you add in a can of rotel or salsa and some creamy retried pinto beans, it the tastes like a tex-mex appetizer that will fool most people.

[@scwheeler24]

That sounds interesting adding the beans. How much would you add? And personally, for me, I rarely use "cheese sauce" for chips, I use it to top my food bowls. It takes it to the next level on the tastiness scale.

[@zeamer11]

Yes! I had pinto beans to mine

[@missinglink_eth]

Cheeky Nonconformist it’s really up to you. If you like beans a lot just add a little sauce. I like mine about 1:1:1.

[@smallfootprint2961]

Nate Johnson... So true. I've never found anything that really substitutes for dairy cheese sauce, but this is what I've chosen, so I try to make tasty foods, and don't expect them to taste like animal products. Just a good sauce, but I'm not crazy about nutritional yeast, which most of them depend on. It took me a long time to stay off off dairy cheese, so all in all, I really don't want anything that really tastes like it, so it's just as well. Your tips sound yum.

[@missinglink_eth]

small footprint yep. Don’t try to replicate animal products. That just turns non-vegans off of vegan food because they think it’s just bad versions of their food. Just make delicious food and share it for what it is.

[@lynettestrickland1688]

Sam Turnbull (It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken) has a great one that uses tapioca starch that’s great and Lauren Toyota (Hot For Food) has a great one, too! Not a fan of Jill’s, although her other recipes are very tasty

Enjoyed this vid! I make Jill's Game Changer sauce all the time-1/2 recipe cause like you said it makes a lot. I make this so much that I have made personal preference changes to it-like I only use 1/2 the red peppers it calls for, no cornstarch needed bcuz it thickens on the stove top when heating. I add a bit more liq smoke, a T white miso, ACV instead of lemon, a small squirt of mustard, stuff like that.... but it's so quick and easy I keep some in fridge all the time.

thank you for this video- ive tried making 2 different vegan cheese sauces with potato, or oatmeal whatev and they all looked great but tasted, well pasty. Yours look awesome, i cant wait to try them.

[@StephanieLeach]

Thanks for the throw down! My favorite “cheesy” sauce right now is a combination of two of the recipes you showcased. It combines potato, carrot, bell pepper, onion, garlic with 1/2 cup of cashews. It’s a nice compromise between low-fat and cashew sauces. I also like to add some jarred salsa for nacho cheese flavor.

[@kimchaffey9827]

Do you saute onion, pepper and garlic?

[@christinescamihorn6609]

I love Peef's individual platter! I have never tried Jill's as the original recipe, but as a family of 4, including a 10-year-old and a former-picky 7-year-old, we constantly have a supply of it in the fridge. I end up making it about every two weeks, and it keeps just fine. I do not have a high-speed blender and just heat it on the stove until it's thick. My tweaks to the recipe are 1 tsp smoked paprika in place of the liquid smoke, tapioca starch in place of the cornstarch, and sometimes I use 16 oz of the roasted peppers in place of the 12oz. I also only use 1 tsp of salt. 😊

Wow, what a great comparison. I usually default to Jill's cheese sauce when I make Mac n Cheeze. But sometimes I like a lighter sauce. I just put together a light tofu-based oil-free and nut-free sauce that was really good. I think all of these can be tweaked in a lot of ways and all can be made into queso dip with some salsa and jalapeños. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@kathysaoed]

Thank you! This was really helpful. I've been wondering which cheese sauce was best too and this helps narrow down which ones to try. Just a thought-Roasting butternut squash adds another dimension of flavor. If you want to use frozen cubed squash, do take time to roast it first.

[@AadelBussinger]

My kids and I love making nacho cheese sauce from silken tofu and a can of green chilies or some green salsa. We add nutritional yeast and some seasonings, and then cornstarch to thicken it up. Heated up in a pan, my kids say it tastes just like the nacho "cheese" in a can.

I adapted the Engine 2 Cheesy Chickpea recipe to make a sauce that I love. 1 can of chickpeas, 1 T Aminoes, 1/2 c Nutritional yeast, 1 tbsp wheat flour (can omit), 1/2 c almondmilk. Whisk together the aminos, N.Yeast, flour, and the aquafava from the chickpea can, boil it up, reduce heat & simmer it while whisking for a couple minutes. Add that mixture, the chickpeas and the almond milk to a blender. Blend for a minute til it's thick & creamy. Add more almondmilk if it's not creamy enough. Fantastic over potatoes, and thick enough that I want to make pizza with it as the sauce. Oh, and add sriracha to taste if you want a spicy kick!

[@purplepolly71]

I make Jill's cheese sauce without a high speed blender - just blend until smooth, then heat in a saucepan to thicken. She also refined the recipe later and added cashews - it's in her cheesy broccoli and rice recipe. If you do experiment with your own recipe, some recipes online use tapioca starch to give a goey stringy texture.

[@gbucksath]

I recently made Jill’s because my daughter wanted some for my grandson to try. They have cashew allergies at her house and my grandson is usually a pretty picky eater. We thought using the oats would be a great option. He actually really liked the cheese, but said he thought it needed to be spicier. I added some green chilies & it really made it taste more like nacho cheese.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Yeah, that's the conclusion we came to as well. It just needed more spice to taste more like nacho cheese. 😀

[@nadines7175]

The first one I made was Jill’s and I still make it on a regular basis but I do add additional spaces like chili powder or green chilies. It’s great to pour over potatoes and add some salsa, the combination is good. However, I would not put it out for a bunch of non-vegan people and expect them to like it much so I look forward to trying the others. I also just ordered Dillion’s cheese sauce powder from WYW and look forward to trying it. Thanks!

[@witchyvegan]

I make the Jill McKeever sauce all the time, and put it on everything. I'll have to try some of the others. I don't taste oats, and I love that it's practically fat free and literally takes like five minutes to make.

Great side-by-side comparison - very balanced and thorough. Of course, now I want to buy yet another cookbook, but that's okay 'cause that's kinda my thing. (Three of my WFPB cookbooks are out on loan to a friend right now, so there is space on my shelf.) I have the ingredients to make several of these right now, but I'm going to start with Jill Cheever's, using some of the suggestions from other comments below. I'll probably be adding some chipotle or chili powder for that extra kick of heat, and I love pickled jalapeno, so that's going in there too! Thanks for keeping our no-shopping pantry meals exciting!

This is so helpful, thank you so much! I’m allergic to nuts, so it’s been a 🐝 trying to find a good vegan cheese recipe! ✌️

Than you! I would love it if you could share your best Jill's Game Changer Sauce variations.

My favorite cheese sauce is High Carb Hannah’s potato nacho cheese. It’s so good, it’s the only cheese sauce I’ve ever made. I also like that it’s fat free. Thanks for making these. I might need to branch out.

To me her cheese sauce taste like vegetable broth or just like plain .. not cheesy at all lol 😢

So ultimately this comes down to what you have in the pantry. I have some roasted red peppers so today I would make the Jaroudi Family version, when I get a butternut squash in I would try the last one. And so on...

I love the versatility of Jill's cheese sauce. (I make the batch and usually start by using it for mac n cheeze. Just toss in some cooked pasta and add some mustard powder and garlic powder; the leftovers keep in the fridge for up to a week (rarely more because I usually eat it all). I use it for a dip (add a bit of onion powder), on tacos (add some chipotle), drizzled on pizza, and even as a sandwich spread (instead of mayo). In JIll's first video, this recipe was made in a regular blender and then put into a pot to cook briefly and thicken up -- but I discovered that I could skip that step and cook it in my brand new Vitamix! I was surprised to see that is now how she suggests doing it! The other really good benefit of this recipe is it is very inexpensive. Cashews (especially raw) are very costly -- so this one scores for being budget-friendly, quick, tasty, fat-free, nut-free and versatile. Thanks for a great video!
