Vegan Cheesy Chorizo Dip


One of the recipes that we make the most around here is our Mac & Not Cheese. What can I say? Sometimes nothing in the world sounds better than a huge bowl of mac & cheese (even when there's actually no cheese in it!) The vegan cheese sauce is the nectar of the gods - we've even used it in our vegan loaded nachos and we're using it again today in this cheesy chorizo dip!


In addition to the vegan cheesy goodness, this recipe also uses our favorite Trader Joe's soy chorizo and salsa of your choice. It's easy to make and so dang delicious (I think you'll be surprised that it's vegan-friendly!) Make it for your next party, game-day snack, or weeknight dinner (hey, why not!?)
