Thank you❣️ 🤗

[@Littleone89]

This may seem pretty obvious but just in case any young folks are watching this... ******When he says to put some olive oil on the pepper while roasting it, he means ONLY when it's in the oven in a pan roasting. Do NOT put anything with oil directly on an open flame burner. Oil is extremely flammable and gets WORSE when water is used to try to put the fire out. So if you're roasting the pepper with an open flame, just leave it how it is. No oil! ******

[@princess3193]

Glad u said this, I was thinking the same thing.

[@pf8691]

I made this yesterday and it was delicious! It tasted very much like regular nacho cheese the only thing though was that it was more on the sweet side. I would say if you don't want it to be somewhat sweet add some more nutritional yeast and some more paprika and many a bit more of garlic and onion powder. Aside from that I really really enjoyed this and think it was a great recipe! Will definitely make this again with a bit of the above mentioned modifications thank you!

[@lillith2619]

I know this comments a year old but I was wondering if it was gritty at all? I made a similar recipe with potatoes and it was gritty, but I think it was just the potatoes. Thanks!

[@TheSleep1408]

You probably aren't blending it well enough...very easy to have smooth, creamy potatoes.

[@WarriorNana4Chg]

@@lillith2619 Also a high end blender, like VitaMix, would blend it to be smooth. We bought a VitaMix because our old blender, Cuisinart, wouldn't blend our smoothies very smooth (we had Chunkies) no matter how long we ran the blender.

[@andrielisilien]

Here's a joke; what do vegan zombies eat? GRAINS

[@michaelademarco6710]

your energy is amazing!!!

[@SSP_Joel]

Love the cooking videos over the last couple of weeks. Keep them coming. Just awesome

[@blackbeastboy11k92]

My second day of vegan(I was vegetarian for like 3-4 years) and I was looking for a vegan cheese recipe and then boom got a notification. Thanks.

[@jupesmerie]

+Kenny Kid You'll be surprised at how amazing you're gonna feel in a few months without dairy and other animal products in your body. Good luck and kick butt!!! :)

[@blackbeastboy11k92]

+Jessica M lol I have to go shopping tomorrow now and thanks.

[@TheVeganZombie]

+Kenny Kid Congrats on going vegan and we're glad to show you some delicious vegan cheese at the perfect time :)

[@BangChief_AllIsOne]

High five, bee hive, it's my 27th-ish day Vegan! Good job fam!

[@blackbeastboy11k92]

***** Lol/ yea.

[@michellegrifffith5306]

Just made for our vegan of four household for tonight ... It might not last until they get home; it's so good! My only adjustment was 2T nutritional yeast rather than 1/2 c. I love your humor and baking tips. The roasted pepper is divine.

[@TheAurorajulialis]

Yum! Adding the roasted pepper sounds great! I find that making my own vegan cheeses at home is so much more affordable. Sure, you need some basic ingredients around, but you can get many batches out of them. Thanks for another great video!

[@emilytryhorn890]

You're so energetic and enthusiastic. I love it. Just started watching your videos today. :)

[@Mizuki9410]

Love your humor, it's so great!! Keep up the yummy recipes!

[@HolisticHealthatHome]

Carcinogenic tang. I'm dying.

[@annarose2672]

I have never made vegan cheese. I have watched videos and checked out recipes on Pinterest. This looks really good, but it also looks like something someone like me( a beginner) can make and feel good about.

[@emwaltz8092]

Making this this weekend! Thanks guys! Love your content

[@II-gj7vq]

wow thanks for sharing who doesn't love nacho cheese sauce and I bet it'll work great in a whole bunch of recipes like maybe even enchiladas so you might have saved me a whole bunch of steps thank you vegan zombie

[@julialacy1215]

It worked! Didn't have some of the ingredients so used red pepper, 2 tsp of Adobe, no extra salt. Tasted great! Thanks!

[@yamarblackburn5642]

I love thank you for this wonderful nacho sauce

[@usa520]

I really like the layout of your kitchen!

[@Avocadoman92591]

fire roasted anakin skywalker pepper sounds good right about now

[@Birchglowfiberarts]

I just made a batch of this to go with a vegan tamale pie (pinto beans and vegan cornbread), and I am blown away by how good this sauce is!! Definitely my new favorite.

[@candicecrawford2996]

I love the cashew based cheese. I haven’t tried pepper yet- that’s definitely next level. I need a blender with the tamper!

[@paulsgirl28r80]

I made this cheese sauce me and my pup loved it

[@kriziavalentine634]

Your personality and humor is freakin awesome hahaha!!!

[@mirandafrights]

Yep. Making this immediately.

[@Swanseaguy1979]

Was it good?

[@TheVeganZombie2]

+swanseawales1979 It's good. We wouldn't post video if it wasn't.

[@Swanseaguy1979]

I was getting a second opinion, wsn't trying to offend bro!

[@mirandafrights]

INCREDIBLE! =D

[@savorycity2252]

I tried this recipe the other day. I used one roasted bell pepper and one roasted jalapeno because I like a little spice in my cheese dips. It was really good. The only thing I'll do differently is add little more water.

[@darlaann]

Making it right now! Looks so good. :) Thanks for the recipe!

[@elizabethshaw734]

Oh yeah door that opening scene with the trees and the sunset add the song to it like a quick Fade to Black with the song and you've got it great for a new intro!

[@rachelcheek3699]

made this for my husband and myself tonight! it was very good! I added some salsa and diced jalepenos to make it a little more "authentic!" great recipe!! I've tried the whole potatoes and carrots cheese and absolutely hated it lol

[@xbriitbx]

I tried this recipe a few weeks ago and it was amazing. I'm about to make it again. Make sure to not put too much smoked paprika in it though.

[@isabelladugarte2868]

Thank you very much! It looks incredible! So greatful to find this channel! Fun to watch too! lol

[@LionessOfBeauty]

if you store this in the fridge. How long will it last? I'm so excited to try this recipe. Anything w/ bell peppers are good!

[@lexsachinskaya6303]

hey to make it more nacho cheesy tasting try adding some juice from a jar of pickled jalapeños!

[@anithen]

Made this today for family. I messed up the pepper and also had to use a red one, but it turned out ultra good. Everyone, even non vegans, ate it super fast.

[@hilaryyuengst2399]

Love this, thanks for all the good cooking and laughs! I watch your videos all the time, my 4 year old handed me the remote the other day and asked "We watch vegan cooking video Mom?" LOL I laughed so hard. "I have basic science to support that" seriously it's all the little funnies that make your videos so great!!

[@DontBNumber11]

Haha, Anakin! That is hilarious 😂; I love all the movie references! On a serious note, is the color of the bell pepper critical (orange vs. red)?

[@cassidygregorek9523]

Dude I love your videos. Your recipes are so creative and simple and vegan!! Not to mention your funny personality lol. Subscribe times 10

[@josephnguyen6181]

I liked your video for once because you said it helps you out more than i might know. HELPING THE WORLD ONE LIKE AT A TIME!

[@SarahW1009]

A bit late to the party but I've just made this. OMG this is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks SO much, it was gone in 60 seconds. Just let those zombies even TRY to get a look in. :)

[@laustin2832]

Just made the cheese. I'm hooked. Thank you!

[@Mysticalcrystal68]

nice and whacky lol my suggestion is when you do your bell peppers on stove like that after you sweat it etc take paper towell or towel which ever you have.. and rub off the charcoal this way its not making to much of a mess when you chop it up.. one from Alberta

[@Naturallyvanessa29]

Omg looks amazing. :) I'm so making this nacho cheese recipe! Thank you for another great recipe!

[@TheVeganZombie]

+Vanessa Rubalcava Thanks :)

[@BennyBoiGamer]

made this tonight and it was AMAZING. thanks dude!!

[@Dots_thepuppy]

I love it on baked potatoes or even add it in a tofu scramble wrap :)

[@pixies_pokes]

just made this and i love it!! not only me but also my mom is very impressed! 10/10 would make again

[@KatieCamps]

I absolutely love your videos! But I have a request. I am obsessed with soup. I could eat it all day long. But the only soup I've been able to successfully make that actually tastes good is minestrone. Could you guys think about doing a soup series? Thanks!

[@spookyvegan1402]

I love this cheese and--- your doggy is so cute! He wants some nacho cheese lol Thank you for making your videos your my favorite!!!

[@hollywoodmark]

Looks good. Thanks for another great vid.

[@chefrahul]

can u tell me the substitute for nutritional yeast

[@Sophiezlife]

Seriously love your personality! Making this when I get some cashews soon!

[@thescintillatingscientist7953]

Jon! How nice to see you again!!!

[@Price245]

How would this go on macaroni noodles?

[@reachtrita]

Awesome as always! Love the recipe!

[@vivianahernandez5832]

I'm going vegan after the Master Cleanse and nachos were the one thing I was afraid to give up! Now I don't have to! Thank you soooo much for this recipe!!!!!!!

[@klyncomedyshorts3252]

GREAT VIDEO, FUNNY & SMART!!!!!!! LOVE THESE VIDS-----STILL CANT HELP BUT WONDER WHERE INDY IS

[@agingintobeauty]

Bring on the game chow! Would like to see your take on the nut free cheeze sauce that has a base of potatoes & carrots. Thanks for the vegan vids - helps more people than you know.

[@TheVeganZombie]

I love the potato carrot sauce! :)

[@autoraithegreat]

I love the colors in your house

[@mikeprice8535]

Where can I find this recipe written out? I didn't see anything in the description of the video. Thanks.

[@CestLaaaVie]

this was so tasty! i used it as cheese for mac n cheese

[@LinneaMae68]

That seriously looks so good!! Your puppy is super cute and, well, you're okay too. 😜😜 Can't wait to try this recipe.

[@RaeDizzleExtras]

missed you john!!

[@KauMalosa]

Great!! already got the ingredients, I have to try it. Just one question, the cashews you use are soaked over night or not?

[@vampiresiren2]

Agh yesssssssssssssss brilliant. just wondering did you have to pre soak the cashews

[@1186jessicat]

Hi love your videos. Quick question could I use almonds instead of cashews?

[@semichan8457]

Thanks for the recipe!

[@KJfilmzz]

Does anyone know how long this lasts/ the best way to store it?

[@windwalker4094]

Awesome video. No need to refrigerate for how long do you think? Bringing cheese into the woods (backpacking) is a horrible challenge, so this is a wonderful option!

[@LedKashmir]

So happy I found this channel 🤘🖤

[@Beastgirl222]

Your dog is soooo cute!

[@ReneeKana]

I know this might be asking a lot, but is there anyway I can substitute something for the cashews? (tree nut allergy) Will peanuts work?

[@halfgridhomestead]

Nice recipe. I have used a recipe like this with pimentos instead, but I will def. have to try the roasted pepper. Fantastic. Im guessing your cashews were raw and first soaked...?

[@helpinghandsolutions8665]

How long does it last in the fridge?

[@slyblack7625]

How long does the leftover cheese last in the fridge?

[@van7708]

I love the fact that the kitchen is not perfect but you can still make perfect recipes. That way I don't feel bad about my own kitchen with holes is the wall and an open ceiling.. Whahaha! This nacho cheese looks awesome btw. 😍

[@deborahwoods2361]

Where did you get the lid you put on the bell pepper you roasted please? Btw, I love your videos! :-)

[@meatfreeathlete]

I'm always up for a home-made vegan cheese sauce recipe! It looks delicious, i'm def going to try this! Oh, and nice shirt ;) xo

[@TheVeganZombie]

+Meat Free Athlete Yeah, the shirt is pretty cool, isn't it :)

[@redrebels2208]

XD

[@elizabethshaw734]

Meat Free Athlete do you have a go-to recipe that you seem to use more than others?

[@ellinidatriandafilo5710]

Man I miss this guy!!

[@anthonybruzzi6582]

Love the Super Troopers reference.

[@kortoffelpuree997]

Oh my god I tried this a few minutes ago and I love it! Better than real cheese dip ❤️

[@paulajudithm]

I love the style of this video AW!

[@kayimmy7717]

That silence of the lambs reference😂this looks good! Damn I wish I had a vitamix

[@alexs.3383]

Same :-(

[@shirinf333]

Yeah haha it puts the lotion on the skin! I wish I had a vitamix too, but I just use my food processor or nutrabullet and they both work perfectly. Food processor I would say is better :)

[@kimcannon6413]

I love you John, you're freaking hilarious!

[@amandastovall6457]

You are so funny and entertaining! Thk u!!

[@WelshIron]

Great vid. Really looking forward to making this. Vegan cheese here in the uk is just rubber!

[@LQuinnS]

Ok, so I just made this and it is sooooo good. I am in my first week with transitioning over to vegan and I have been looking for an easy, delicious vegan cashew cheese. This will be my go to for now on

[@Niio87]

did he pre soaked those cashews? and was water in the blender to make it smooth?

[@forreal713]

Yes he pre soaked the cashews. He also had the water he used for the recipe and the cashews in the same measuring cup before putting them in the blender.

[@Niio87]

Noted thank you!

[@Moon_Dancers]

How long does the cheese last in the fridge?

[@zombiegurldeadinside2023]

Awesome recipe!

[@monica-dt2sd]

such a delicious recipe thank you for sharing!! i make it every week (plus i add some jalapeño for a kick :))

[@patriciabruce1269]

What is the second ingredient you put in? Did you say chameric?

[@kelly-px9tj]

+Patricia Bruce turmeric!

[@japanluv]

There' s a bird wisteling in my ears that you are present each year to some Vegan Festivals in the UK.Are you coming at the Bristol one by the end of May? You are my favourite Vegan KZbinr my man. I hope I can shake hands and a can of vegan beer with you. I love your recipes and videos!

[@japanluv]

+VM2007 Thats what I asked myself first time I heard it. To find out later on for example that the Guiness I love to have once in while is filtered through fish bone. Apparently they re changing it this year( an announcement has been made). Hope others will follow them.

[@japanluv]

+VM2007 Regarding cheese, my dear, try this link: miyokoskitchen.com/ I got her book but havent tried her cheese recipes, yet due to limited free time. Shes on youtube, with some vegan cheeses recipes. Thats how I found her book. You wont taste a vegan beer totally different than a regular one. Its more about consciousness.Used to love fish and seefood in general, and beef. Gradually kept only fish, then only dairy and eggs then went fully vegan last year, so a year now. My dream is to have the space and land to grow my own things. Some vegans give up alcohol completely. I like a glass of home made wine from Romania where Im originally from, or a sour cherry "brandy" , a commercial pear cider or beer as well. We need to keep in touch. My best friend hes born as Aquarius as well(17th feb), so you can talk as much as you want:))I wont mind. I socialise easily and like making new friends. Not on facebook for almost 2 years but Id like to stay in touch with you. My wife is vegan, too. We can help with questions plus youll find here people who know a lot more than me. Ive started for health reasons and then the animal welfare came in my mind. Is not a religion, its a way of love. I wont preach it. I just wanna show what it can do... 4am here. Night duty messed up my sleep. Good night:))

[@CindyOrtegametzli7]

Always making me laugh, love the videos and recipes, thanks!

[@Dynan117]

Can you freeze this if you make a big batch?

[@alexs.3383]

Does it taste a little sharp like cheese or is it more just salty?

[@annlynn4445]

Totally awesome!

[@52weeksofclay26]

A STAR WARS REFERENCE?!!?! I'm sold

[@cathyburton5829]

What could you use in place of cashews please?

[@wf440]

What if you're allergic to cashews? Can you use other nuts? like Macadamias?

[@via321ful]

Thank you

[@Hana-uw6vm]

What blender do you use?

[@ISCREAMFORSCREAMO1]

Hey, I'm going to college next year and am nervous about how I'll be able to continue being vegan. Was wondering if you had any tips for eating vegan in college on a budget?

[@heymickii]

+Salivating Salamander Hey! I'm in collage. Here are my tips: Most carbs are cheap, like pasta, rice, potatoes etc, buy a lot of those. Crushed tomatoes make a great base for sauces and stews. Make lentil and bean based stews such as indian dal, delicious and cheap! I would say my number one tip is; go for whole ingredients rather than expensive soy meats and such. Most veggies are pretty cheap and you can do a lot of delicious stuff from them. And there's of course vegan ramen. Can't go to collage without ramen. If you want more tips I suggest you checkout the "Cheap lazy vegan" - channel. She does great stuff.

[@reachtrita]

Make food in batches and also shop at cheaper places like 99cent store or Aldi. Use a lot of beans/rice/mushrooms (only $1/pack at 99c. Store)/ tofu/ soy milk ($1 at 99c store or Dollar Tree)

[@nekoanomaly]

+Salivating Salamander Surving college was no cake walk for me. First off buy a electric pressure cooker. Most dorms don't have it listed in the student handbooks as contraband. Crock-pots were considered off limits and so were hotplates at my school. Depending how far away your school is from a vegan market some time vegan groceries are hard to get. The Dollar Tree stores was my saving grace in school. Oriental flavored ramen is vegan. Not all stores carry it though. This was my emergency food for late night cramming. Popcorn to me was a must, buy the kernels not the ready to make packs, the ready mades are usually are not vegan. Kernels will pop in a brown paper bag the same as the ready mades do if you tape it up. With that pressure cooker I told you to buy can cook your own beans, lentils, soups and damn near anything in your dorm room. Dry pasta rice can be made in it in a matter of minutes. You can even bake in one if you get a chocolate fix. Unfortunately there was no whole foods or easy to access grocery where I went to college. I could barely afford to rub two nickles together when I was in school my choices were either college or wheels. Whole Pay Check was out of the question. So I did most of my own cooking Junior year and ate nearly all meals from dollar tree. You may have to fight your school to get off your meal plan if your living in a dorm. Hopefully they will have a salad bar, some colleges don't. Worse yet every salad made is covered in meat and cheese. So here is a couple of pointers on getting buy. For some reason there seems to be a dollar tree around most college campus's. Probably because poor college students are great profits. Dollar tree carries: West soy shelf stable soy milk and peanut-butter. Red beans black beans pinto, and lentils, pasta and rice. Raw popcorn, cereal (read labels on cereal). In the frozen area, they have peppers, onions, peas, corn and french fries and limas, and stir fry veggies, broccoli cauliflower and some times squash zucchini medley. My local one always carries bread too which is vegan. Cheap bread is usually vegan read the labels to make sure because normally this is the day old stuff that wasn't bought from the gas stations. It will go stale quicker. Buy chili powder, cumin, garlic, salt and pepper from the spice section. With the pressure cooker a plate/bowl knife fork and spoon and good cutting knife and some cooking utensils you should be set. All of these are in dollar tree too. Hopefully this will help you out. I know after college, when I was drowning in debt I still had to eat this way keep in mind scrounging is also prep for your future. Shampoos Laundry detergents and cleaners your going to need to hit the internet for some recipes. Hint. Baking soda and lemon juice and vinegar are in most all of these home vegan cleaner. Once again all found at dollar tree.

[@alexandrap7253]

+Salivating Salamander There's vegan mac and cheese,too you can buy in most grocery stores! My college's dining hall offers a lot of vegan options too. You can't go wrong with the fresh fruit and salad bars! Also look around campus for vegan soups and basics like peanut butter, breads to toast, and rice and beans. Hope this helps!

[@flowers2312]

They sell Soy chorizo Cacique at Food 4 less for $1. add some mushrooms and zucchini :) mushroomd 3-4$ but you'll have left over. One or two zucchini less than $2. Serving is 1-3. Depending on how much you eat. I usually share with my mom, and still have another plate to eat later. . Lentils + garlic powder + can of tomato sauce. around $9 leftover lentils for another day, and garlic powder for other dishes as well. Rice + beans +grilled veggies + you can buy by pound, for 1-2 servings. or you can buy a pack to use for other days, I find can beans for a $1 at food 4 less. Rice for .89 cents - $2 .. veggies by pounds, or you can get them frozen, ehh. lol They sell vegan chicken tenders for $4 . depending on the brand . you can use " simple truth " or. $4.50 with "Gardein" . You can get a burrito with avocado salsa beans and rice perhaps at some places for less than $6.
