Hi Chef John! I really wanted to make this recipe, but in the span of finding this recipe and going grocery shopping... I turned vegan. Do you have suggestions for adapting this for a plant-based diet? Thank you for all your hard work!

[@TheStephenmonroe]

@@cherriesllol I have heard that adding crumbled bacon makes this vegan.

[@radix023]

John is so right to caution you on heat. I have ruined cheese that way before. I want to share my favorite way to do queso. Sometimes I can get Mexican restaurants to do it, other times I have to do assembly myself. 1) ideally you start with a ceramic/earthenware pot. Let this warm filled with boiling water before use. Obviously dump the water when ready to start. 2) put a layer of refried beans on the bottom of the pot 3) sprinkle generously with chorizo sausage freshly minced and cooked 4) pour on the cheese 5) serve with fresh sliced jalapenos on the side everyone likes this Cheers to chef John and good food to all

[@Oobydewby]

Just made a batch to try it out before bringing it to the StupidBowl party tomorrow, and I must say it is hands down better than anything store bought. I've definitely added more cayenne than was called for but, I think Chef John won't mind this minor change. It was also super easy, and lots of fun to make. Way more fun than opening a jar, or even worse, a can.

The 18 dislikes are from people who don’t like to grate their cheese 🧀

[@srasm]

Nicool Peg or cilantro haters 🍀

[@minhuang8848]

All Chef John's wit aside for a moment, store-bought cheese is indeed fine because they use starch as an anti-caking agent, not powdered cellulose. Which isn't a big deal either from a health safety standpoint,, it's just that parmigiano or grana padano - to most people - tastes better than your Kraft parmesan. Pre-shredded gouda and other semi-soft cheeses are treated with corn- or potato starch in most countries and can taste close to as good as "the real deal", depending on your preferences. Thing is you just don't get to buy most cheeses like that, so... you're mostly going to rely on an entire block anyway.

[@ZeliardFTW]

@@minhuang8848 Also I think Nicool Peg is just making a randomly stupid assumption that people don't know how to grate cheese despite it is not only easy and simple but how else are you going to do it with a block of cheese. Also there are more dislikes from the time he posted this, and they must feel dumb for stating a single amount, despite over time it would obviously be higher. At the time of my post it was 4,100 compared to 38. That 38 is almost nothing to worry about especially on a youtube video the guy is just attempting to brown nose, aka put his nose into a butthole where it gets all brown for likes and people agreeing with them.

[@IanLoughead]

When you add cornstarch to your fresssshly grated cheese, isn't it basically the same thing as pre-shredded cheese?

[@laurensmith9579]

Eh not really. The cornstarch helps thicken. Processed cheese doesn't melt the same as fresh grated I'm assuming because of the cellulose he mentioned.
