What Can I Make with 1 Lb of Velveeta Cheese?

I had a coupon for a free box of velveeta cheese (1 lb). My husband is lactose intolerant can can't have it at all. But the kids and I can. Does anyone have a little kid velveeta favorite recipe I can make so we can eat at lunch while dad is at work?

My kids are 19 months and 3 years old.

What can I do next?

We make home made mac and cheese with it. Just substitute the Velveeta for the regular cheese. It is actually really good, and I hate velveeta.

S., you can melt about a 1/4 of it and mix it with a bit of milk and make mac and cheese, or you can melt some again, and make nachos with it, or use it as a dip, mix it with some chili for a chili and cheese dip or just alone as a chip dip, or take a slice of it and make grlled cheese sandwhiches, just enjoy ilfe and have a good day, D. s

I never like velveeta as a substitute for real cheese, but there is this recipe called "Velveeta Chili Dip" that is really good - especially with fritos! This is the recipe my husband's family has been making for years. Just put it in a crock pot or melt it all over low heat in the stove:

* 1 (1 pound) package Velveeta Cheese
* 1 can Chili - no beans
* 1 pound medium or spicy sausage, browned and crumbled

I make my daughter mac and cheese, she loves it. It's much yummier than the box kind with powder cheese. Is that powder really cheese?
Cook the noodles, drain and return to the pan, add a little milk and chunks of the Velveeta, put this back on the stove on low and stir until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Velveeta makes the BEST macaroni and cheese. Simply buy elbow noodles, or shells, and make per instructions. Drain the noodles and then return the pot to the stove on very low heat. Add cubes of cheese and some milk and then stir continuously until melted. I adjust the cheese to how cheesie the kids like it.

You can also use it for grilled cheese sandwiches

Hi S., I've made this a couple of times and it turns out good. They have the recipe and a picture at kraftfoods.com.

Bacon Cheeseburger Roll-up
1lb. lean ground beef
4 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 lb. velveeta cut into 1/2 in. cubes
1 pkg.(13.8oz.) refrigerated pizza crust

Preheat oven to 400. cook ground beef, bacon, and onion in skillet until browned. Drain meat and add velveeta, cook until completely melted, stiring frequently. Remove from heat and set aside.

Unroll pizza crust onto baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray. Press into rectangle and top evenly with meat mix. roll up dough starting at one long side.

Bake 20-25 mins. or until golden brown.

We usually cut it so our son can dip it in BBQ or ketchup and mustard. The whole family actually enjoys it!

We also make Broccoli cheese soup (my aunt's recipe) that it super yummy. If you'd like it I can send it. And velveeta makes the BEST grilled cheese sandwiches. Add tomato soup and you've got a great lunch or dinner!

S.,

You can cube the Velveeta and put it into a small sauce pan with a little milk to thin it. Melt it over low heat stirring often. Once its melted you can add cooked pasta for Mac and cheese, or pour it over cooked broccoli, or any cooked veggie that you like, or you can pour it over tortilla chips or just put in in a bowl and use it as a dip.

You can also slice it and make grilled cheese sandwiches, or slice it and top a casserole and then heat in the oven until all is melted.

Something I make with velveeta that my boys like is to add a few chunks of it to some homemade gravy and serve over mashed potatoes.

Its also great in Shephards Pie (meat and gravy layer on bottom of cake pan, layer of cooked leftover veggie, layer of sliced velveeta, and then top with leftover mashed potatoes or tator tots then bake 350 degrees for approx 30-40 min).

My kids also like to eat it just as it is, I cube it up for them and they snack on it with some fruit or crackers.

S., you can melt about a 1/4 of it and mix it with a bit of milk and make mac and cheese, or you can melt some again, and make nachos with it, or use it as a dip, mix it with some chili for a chili and cheese dip or just alone as a chip dip, or take a slice of it and make grlled cheese sandwhiches, just enjoy ilfe and have a good day, D. s
