Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces dairy-free hot dog buns
- 4 pieces dairy-free hot dog sausages
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
Lightly brush the hot dog sausages with olive oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and grill marks appear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the vegetable broth and cornstarch. Whisk together until well blended and smooth.
Add the nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the saucepan. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes.
Once the mixture has thickened to a sauce-like consistency, remove from heat and stir in the dijon mustard. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
Toast the hot dog buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes, until lightly golden and warm.
Place the grilled hot dog sausages into the buns. Drizzle generously with the dairy-free cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh chives over the top of the cheesy hot dogs.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious dairy-free cheesy hot dogs!
