Vegan Chili Dog with Ste Martaen Vegan Olive & Pepper Jack Cheese Sauce
This vegan and soy-free Ste Martaen Cheese’s Olive mixes very well with the other vegan Pepper Jack cheese for vegan “nacho cheese” sauce adapted from Ste Martaen’s Nacho Cheese Sauce recipe with a slight modification. I am not a massive fan of olives in general and I can’t snack on them alone. If you are an olive fan, this vegan cheese is for you and it has green olives in it. I don’t mind making a nacho cheese sauce from olive cheese since you can’t taste the olives at all with combinations of powerful spices. This time, I used the vegan nacho cheese sauce for the vegan chili dog.

Heat 1/2 tablespoon extra virgin oil at medium in a medium saucepan. Add minced garlic, green onions and diced jalapeno. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Do not burn the garlic.
