Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 3-4 tablespoons of nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup roasted bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 tsp garlic powder or 1-2 garlic cloves
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 1 15.5 oz can cannellini or Great Northern beans (optional)

Instructions

  • Add all the ingredients to your blender, process it for several minutes until it is smooth and creamy. Add the mixture to a medium pan, cooking over medium heat. Stir occasionally. It will only take a few minutes before you will see a thick, creamy and gooey cheese right before your eyes. It doesn’t take long, so stay close to your pan. Remove from the heat and serve immediately over a baked potato, vegetables or baked chips.
