Cook With Velveeta Cheese

Velveeta is most commonly used to make macaroni and cheese.


Everyone knows or at least has seen the smooth, processed cheese product that is often used in macaroni and cheese recipes and and for dip. Velveeta may not be natural cheese, but it has been around since 1918 and has ingrained itself as a part of American culture. You can use Velveeta cheese to replace, or in addition to, other cheeses in plenty of recipes; whether it's a twist on the classic mac and cheese or even chocolate fudge.

Velveeta Fudge








7. Heat the Velveeta and butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and nuts.


8. Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa mixture together in a large bowl. Pour the cheese mixture into the bowl. Mix well until the fudge mixture gets stiff.
