Homemade Velveeta Substitute Copycat Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cut cheese into a few chunks and place all ingredients inside a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 5 minutes or until all is melted, stopping to stir every 1-2 minute.
• 2. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap and pour the melted mixture into the loaf pan, cover with sides of plastic wrap and refrigerate. This will keep for 1 or 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Use as your would normally use Velveeta or tightly wrap and freeze it.
• 3. Notes: Not all white American cheeses are made equal. Check ingredients because some... well, don't really expire. If it says "cheese product" it's probably not real. Get the best quality you can find and afford from the fresh deli department - DON'T use sliced or pre-shredded cheese!
• 4. To make amazing Rotel (Queso) dip, fry 1 lb breakfast pork sausage (mild or hot) and drain grease. Melt 1 1/2 - 2 pounds Velveeta, 1 or 2 cans of Rotel Tomatoes, drained (hot or original), and add pork sausage. Serve hot with Tortilla chips. If you like it a little hotter add crushed red pepper flakes.

Steps:

• Line a 8x4x2 - 5" loaf pan with plastic wrap.
• In a blender, put 1/2 cup of the water, 3 tablespoons of the milk, 1/2 teaspoon of the gelatin. Whip until gelatin is dissolved.
• Quickly add 1/2 lb of the cheddar to the hot mixture.
• Whip until blended.
• Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
• Repeat this twice, until all ingredients are used.
• Cover the pan with more plastic wrap and chill overnight before unmolding.
• Keep cold and slice as needed.
