Vegetarian baked nacho dip recipe

Question

Hey, I'm looking for a really tasty baked nacho dip recipe for a Mexican Party my parents are going to have. I'm looking for something with different layers, that you put in the oven and heat up. Maybe with cream cheese, salsa, shredded cheese, vegetables, etc.. Something meat eaters can also enjoy, but without having meat flavoured substitutes. Thank you!

Answer 1

Baked Layered Nacho Dip (8 servings)

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds cooked and spiced TVP or morgning star or boca crumbles

1 pckg taco seasoning mix

3 cups of refried or/and black beans

1 onion, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1 green bell pepper, chopped

16 ounces shredded Vegan Gormet Nacho Cheese or nacho cheese sauce

1/2 cup diced green and/or red peppers

4 to 6 ounces sliced black olives

2-3 tomatoes, washed and diced

tortilla chips, for serving

salt and pepper, to taste

Optional toppings/side serving: hot sauce, Toffuti sour cream, jalapeno peppers, pico de Gallo to taste, guacamole, Toffuti cream cheese, salsa, shredded lettuce, avocado, whatever else you like.

Instructions:

1. Fry 'beef' crumbles, onion, garlic, tomatoes, and bell peppers together in skillet until fully cooked. Then stir in taco seasoning, hot sauce or salsa.

2. Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish and spread bottom with tortilla chips, then spread beans on top of the chips. Sprinkle about 1/3 of the cheese over the beans, and then add another layer of chips. Top with the 'beef crumbles', sprinkle remaining cheese on top.

3. Sprinkle 1/2 cup green and/or red peppers over cheese, and bake at 375 degrees for 15-30 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.

4. Spoon onto plates. Top with optional toppings of your choice. (hot sauce, Toffuti sour cream, jalapeno peppers, pico de Gallo to taste, guacamole, Toffuti cream cheese, salsa, shredded lettuce, avocado, whatever else you like.)

Nacho Sauce:

Nacho Cheese Sauce

Ingredients

      1/4 cup nutritional yeast

      1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

      3 Tablespoons soy margarine

      1/2-1 cup water

      1/2 cup salsa of choice

      1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Toffuti sour cream

      1/4 teaspoon garlic granules

      2 teaspoons tumeric

      1 Tablespoon soy sauce or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos

      1-4 dashes of chili (cayenne) pepper

Directions:

Tip: For a spicier or milder version add more salsa or sour cream until desired taste is achieved. Try to stir almost constantly to avoid clumping. If clumps appear, spread them out until smooth, and continue stirring.

      Combine nutritional yeast and pastry flour in small bowl

      Heat 3 Tablespoons margarine in skillet over medium heat to melt

      Stir in yeast and flour mixture

      Very carefully, add 1/2-1 cup water to yeast, flour, and margarine mix. The amount of water added will vary. Adding too little will not form a sauce, but too much will make it too watery. Also, adding too much water too soon will cause the yeast-flour-margarine mix to clump, making it harder to stir into a creamy paste.

      Once desired cream consistency has been reached, stir in garlic granules, add salsa and blend well

      Add Vegan Sour Cream and mix until blended.

      Add tumeric until blended. Then add soy sauce and blend.

      Finally, add 1-4 dashes of chili (cayenne) pepper. (You will want to take this 1 dash at a time so to avoid making it too hot).

Nacho cheese (Salsa con Queso) Option 2:

Ingredients:

    * 2-3 Tablespoons Earth Balance margarine

    * 5 heaping tablespoons flour (use stone-ground wheat flour, it's healthier)

    * 2 cups plain soymilk

    * 1/2 block of Vegan Gourmet cheddar or nacho cheese, shredded

    * 1 can of green chiles with diced tomatoes, drained

    * 1 small can diced jalapeños, more if you like it hot

    * Frank's red hot sauce, to desired heat

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, heat the vegan margarine to bubbly.

Add flour. Make sure that there is enough margarine to flour (you may need to add a little extra margarine). Mix well.

Add soymilk, and heat to boiling. Blend the flour into the milk to remove lumps.

Add vegan cheddar. Stir constantly and heat through. Add remaining ingredients.

Answer 2

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but really good alternative:

in a crock pot heat 2 packages cream cheese and 2 cans vegetarian chili on the low setting, stir. Throw some shredded cheddar on top. (Adjust quantities as needed).

Serve with Tostito scoops.

It's so simple but people just love it.

Answer 3

my mom use to make one all the time. spread softened cream cheese on the bottom of a baking dish. top with salsa and shredded cheese like cheddar or one of those taco or Mexican mix cheeses. i also reallt like it topped with black olives, heat in the oven at 350 until the cheese on top is nice and melted and serve with tortilla chips or fritos.....i bet maybe some refried beans may be good layered in there as well. i think im gonna have to try that lol
