For a smoky Cheddar flavor, add a dash of cumin. For an Alfredo-style sauce, incorporate more garlic, vegan butter, and fresh parsley. Transform it into a queso dip by blending in a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies. This sauce bakes wonderfully, making it ideal for dishes like chicken spaghetti.
