Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

In a large saute pan over medium heat, cook ground beef, onions, and minced garlic until beef is cooked through and onions are translucent, about 10 minutes.
While ground beef is cooking, in a medium mixing bowl whisk together the coconut milk, starch or flour, nutritional yeast, and all the seasonings.
Once beef is cooked, add canned tomatoes and mixed sauce into the pan. Bring to a boil then simmer, stirring regularly, for 10-12 minutes - until sauce has thickened and flavors have combined.
Serve queso dip with your favorite chip of choice. If you are on a Whole30, no store-bought chips allowed, see notes for links to tostones or homemade plantain chip recipes.
Store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week or the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

VEGAN or PLANT-BASED WHOLE30 OPTION: Start by sauting the onions and garlic in 2 teaspoons oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once onions are translucent, add combined sauce plus either 1 lb vegan beef crumbles or 2 cans of rinsed black beans. Simmer and serve as shared above.

On a Whole30? I recommend making Tostones or Homemade Plantain Chips for a delicious Whole30 compatible option. If not on a Whole30, we love Siete Tortilla Chips for a Paleo, grain-free option. Trader Joe's also sells pre-made tostones which are delicious. Or, use your favorite tortilla chips of choice!

*You can substitute another dairy-free milk, but add an additional 1 tablespoon starch or flour to make the result thick enough."
