Vegan Cheese Sauce II
Yields: about 3ish cups
meat-free, dairy-free, egg-free, oil-free, gluten-free, soy-free

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Steel Cut Oatmeal
• 1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast
• Juice from 1/2 Lemon
• 12 oz. jar Roasted Red Pepper in Water (do not drain)
• 1 tbsp. Liquid Smoke

• 1 tbsp. Onion Powder
• 1 tbsp. Garlic Powder
• 1 tbsp. Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Blend ingredients together using a Vitamix for 5 minutes
2. Immediately transfer Sauce to storage container or use, Sauce will continue to thicken as it cools (in the time it took me to take photos, this stuff glued itself to my Vitamix container)

Hoff Thoughts: Serve over Veggies or pair with Pasta for a mean Mac & Cheese (about 1 cup Sauce with 1/2 cup Plant-based Milk. *Jill recommends Pecan or Apple Liquid smoke, which I would love to try, but I can't get my hands on it, just use what you have.
