Yuck! Not only is Velveeta nasty-it's expensive! I'm usually the one avoiding the recipes that call for velveeta or any processed cheese for that matter!

Jen, I don't have a certain recipe in mind, I just seem to see Velveeta in a lot of recipes. They look great, but I keep avoiding them.
Foxxxy, I have thought about it actually, but like the post before yours says, velveeta has a certain texture and stays "liquidy." I use shreaded cheese when I can, but for some recipies I think regular cheese would either burn, maybe greasy, or would not be as smooth as velveeta.
I'm sure that cream cheese would work for some recipes, it all depends on what I'm making. I'm sure that is why Jen was asking!

Have you not considered eating REAL cheese instead of processed junk?

obviously one of the selling points of velveeta is how smooth & creamy it is -- it would be difficult to sub it and end up with the same texture, but a good alternative might be to make a simple white sauce (butter, flour & milk or cream - try using evaporated milk for richer, silkier texture without all of the fat & calories of cream), then add shredded cheese to the mixture. remember that the sharper the cheese, the less you need to impart the flavor. a little more work than just throwing the velveeta into the pot, but it may be worth it.

I have no problem with velveeta when it's used in a dip. Probably cause I don't eat as much of it. But when a meal is made with it, it makes me sick. It always tastes great to me, but I just can't eat it anymore. Is there something else I can use?
