I have been so busy lately and after Christmas the last thing I have on my mind is making a big meal, after unloading my Christmas cash stash on a few last minute gifts for Connor the budget is a little slim this time of year as well. I've been thinking and thinking what on earth will I make for my New Years guests that would not only be fast and easy but affordable. I recently got a little gift package from Velveeta that included a bunch of great recipes, and it hit me Velveeta is not only delicious but its the perfect cheese to make fabulous and affordable party meals!
It's been a very long time since I bought a "loaf" of Velveeta. As a child my mom would buy the spicy Velveeta loafs and I would cut off a chunk after school and melt it into the perfect and quick cheese dip. So I thought why not make my favorite cheese dip from my childhood, what could be simpler, yummier, and cheap?! Though you still can get the flavored Velveeta(Mexican Mild is my personal favorite) I ended up getting a plain 32oz loaf. I also picked up some canned green chilies, which are usually located near the taco ingredients. All I did was cut the loaf in half, stick it in a small pot on the stove and start melting it, and add a small can of drained green chilis to the cheese slowly until the cheese was a spicy as I wanted it. In the end I ended up with a delicious cheese dip for only a few dollars that would serve a big crowd. The second half of the loaf was reserved to cut into small cubes to melt for Connor for his crackers.
Cheese dip is only one of hundreds of ways you can use your Velveeta. Velveeta also makes amazing mac and cheese, pastas, casseroles, and something you may have never thought about but I make Connor little sandwiches for lunch quite often and if you slice your Velveeta thin it makes for the perfect melted cheese on a warmed sandwich. Actually Velveeta can be added to almost any dish that calls for a meltable cheese. I've even melted it over my tacos at times!
You can check out the Velveeta website to find some some great recipes and read more about Velveeta and its history! In the meantime I'll be here drooling over thinking about eating my dip!
I have several Velveeta coupons, for free Velveeta, to give away to one lucky reader!

I just love using Velveeta to make my queso dip. Happy New Year to everyone.

I must admit, I have never tried Velveeta, but after reading your review, my mouth is watering for the dip. I checked their website and they do have some nice recipes (the Cheesy Chicken & Broccoli Bake looks really good). I'm always looking for new recipes, so I think I'm going to give Velveeta a try. Thanks!
I love velveeta - especially for mac and cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches :)
No party here but I'd love to have the coupons. I used Velveeta to make Snowbound Casserole earlier this week. It was yummy!
Velvetta makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches.
We do the cheese, chilis and cooked ground beef thing for easy nachos. :-)
I love Velveeta. My kids love fixing grilled cheeses with it.
I love to make grilled cheese sandwiches with Velveeta,we like the dip too,I make mac an cheese with it an put it on top of pizza for extra flavor
vlbelk(at)hotmail.com
I make a similar dip to your velveeta dip - I just add Rotel tomatoes w/ green chilis to it-
Another great thing to make with it is Sausage bread - simply brown a pound of ground sausage, drain and then melt the velveeta into the sausage- take a loaf of french bread and slice it down the middle (like they do at Subway) - put the sausage/cheese mixture in the middle - wrap in foil and heat at 350 for 5-10 minutes until heated through - makes a great breakfast/bruch type of item
We use a lot of Velveeta, because my hubby and daughter are addicted to Mac & Cheese made with it. Another family favorite is cheese dip. I can make it mild for my daughter and volcanic hot for my hubby! I'd sure love to start out 2009 winning some coupons! Thanks a bunch!
Ah, Velveeta brings back so many memories of my childhood. Especially making cheese omlettes with it - it melts so well!

I love making a family favorite from my childhood. It is called noodle pudding and made with Velveeta and it is sweet and delicious.

I hate parties I'd eat all myself
We love Velvetta. My favorite is a dip that I make and we use crackers to dip into the melted cheese. Simple and yummy.
Thanks so much for offering this giveaway.
The best fudge is made with velveeta. Here is the recipe. People think I'm lying when I tell them what is in it.
1/2 pound velveeta
2 sticks butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup nuts
2 160z packages of powdered sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
spray 9inch pan with no stick cooking spray
Over medium heat melt cheese, butter and add in vanilla
In a bowl sift together sugar and cocoa.
Pour cheese into sugar mixture and stir until completely mixed.
I find it easier to use my hands to mix because it is so stiff.
Pat firmly and evenly into pan and blot excess butter with a paper towel. Add nuts ontop. Refrigerate for 30 minutes and then cut into squares.
I love the Velveta Spicy Sausage Dip......we made it for Christmas!
Good old fashion cheese and crackers is always a hit.
