Vegan Queso Fundido
You guys, it’s my favorite time of the year!
The leaves start changing colors, the sun goes down earlier, all of the comfy clothes…and AMERICAN FOOTBALL!!!
If you know me and Ashlee, then you know we love nothing more than hanging with our closest friends, cooking, drinking, and watching football on good ol’ Sunday Funday. But to be honest, all of the politics surrounding the NFL make it pretty lame this year. Not to mention, the Bengals aren’t having the greatest start to their season, so I’ve been finding myself in the kitchen more than actually watching the games.
A couple weeks ago, I was flipping through an old Rachael Ray Every Day Magazine, and I came across this delicious appetizer, “Loaded Queso Fundido”. It looked so appetizing, I knew I had to veganize it!
The great thing about this vegan queso fundido recipe is that it’s simple and quick!!! Plus, it’s so yummy that all of your friends, vegan and non-vegan, will fuckin LOVE it!!!
Seriously guys, almost anything you love to eat can be veganized!!! Try it! We promise, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
We hope you guys love this recipe for vegan queso fundido as much as we do! If you try making it, make sure to tag us and Rachael Ray! We love seeing all of your recreations of our recipes (or in this case, Rachael Ray’s recipe).
Hopefully your NFL team is doing better than ours! Until next time, friends!!!

2. We used about 8 ounces of vegan chorizo, or soyrizo
3. The brand of vegan cheese we used was Daiya, but you can use any brand you prefer! You can also make your own vegan cheese sauce. There are a ton of delicious recipes online!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all that CHEESE? Oh girl, that makes it sooooo NON-VEGAN. Yikes!! Maybe vegetarian, but so very, very non-vegan. We don’t eat anything from an animal of any kind. Including dairy (aka cheese, milk, sour cream, yogurt…you get the idea.).
You may wanna update your title to VEGETARIAN QUESO FUNDIDO. 🙂
Lisa, it’s VEGAN cheese from the brands Daiya and Follow Your Heart
If you read the notes, you’ll see I’ve made a notation of the VEGAN CHEESE we used in replace of dairy cheese.
This looks so yum! I’m not sure how the other person missed that it’s vegan but…hey lol. I definitely plan on making this 😀
P. S. Love the name of your blog!
Thanks, Susan!!! ❤️????
Thanks Susan!! Me either lol! It’s stated “vegan” in the title ????
