VELVEETA ULTIMATE MACARONI AND CHEESE



Velveeta Ultimate Macaroni and Cheese image

I got this off a box of Velveeta Cheese when I saw it made on Good Morning America. The recipe is exact, i haven't changed it. I usually buy the large block of Velveeta cheese and store any unused cheese in ziploc bags, so I'm forever searching for the recipe. It's easy and fast. My family swears it tastes just like KFC! You can also put the Macaroni and Cheese in a greased casserole dish and make a topping out of 1 sleeve of crushed Ritz Crackers and 1 stick of melted butter. Combine and then sprinkle on top of casserole. Bake in 350 degree oven till top is golden brown.

  • Shred the cheese finely: This will help the cheese melt smoothly and evenly.
  • Cook the cheese slowly: Overheating the cheese can cause it to become rubbery or grainy. Cook it over low heat, stirring constantly.
  • Add the sodium citrate slowly: This ingredient is what gives Velveeta cheese its signature smooth and creamy texture. Add it slowly, stirring constantly, until the cheese is completely melted.
  • Season to taste: Once the cheese is melted, taste it and add salt, pepper, or other seasonings as desired.
  • Let the cheese cool slightly before using: This will help it to thicken and set.

Conclusion:

Homemade Velveeta cheese is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's a great way to save money and avoid the artificial ingredients found in store-bought Velveeta cheese. With a little time and effort, you can easily make your own homemade Velveeta cheese that tastes just as good, if not better, than the original.
