The Super Bowl is coming! Let’s panic and buy a new TV and every box and bag of food in the store! Or, maybe not…

I consider this Plant-Based (aka “vegan”) Nacho Bar you can make for your Super Bowl (or any) party to be in a few categories I like to provide to my readers:

1. You SO got this! Dinner/Entertaining/Eating Plants doesn’t have to be so hard.

2. A dish where most kosher-keeping cooks want to keep at least one of the items parve (neither meat or dairy). For instance, they want to serve meat, such as using real ground-beef in the nachos, serving meat sub sandwiches or chicken wings. Or, you might want to use real cheese for a dairy meal but like the idea of including ground beef too.

3. You have too many vegetarians and lactose-intolerant folks so you just want to include EVERYONE.

Here are photos of a few great products you can use here (and see recipe below):
