Preheat a grill or stovetop grill pan over medium heat.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the vegan butter.
Add the unsweetened almond milk and cornstarch to the saucepan. Whisk continuously until the mixture starts to thicken.
Once the sauce is thickened, add the vegan cheddar cheese, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
Place the vegan sausages on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until heated through and grill marks appear.
Lightly toast the hot dog buns on the grill for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Place each sausage in a toasted bun, then generously drizzle the vegan cheese sauce over the top.
Optionally, top with chopped onions and pickles for added flavor and crunch.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your Vegan Cheesy Hot Dogs!
