A friend gave me a bunch of velveta. What would you use it for?

I cook broccoli, or broccoli and other veggies in just a little water, no salt. Then I put about 1/3 of the brick in the veggies, cut in cubes and stir til melted. If it is still too thick I add milk to make it soup consistency. You can add a little to potato soup, again, cooking the veggies with no salt. We make the dip, with velveta and a can of Rotel tomatoes and ground meat or beans or both. Dip chips. If you take flour tortillas and cut them and bake them you save on fat and salt. If Rotel is too spicy, just use regular diced tomatoes, and ground beef and beans. I cannot remember what your allergies are, or if you have any.

This kind of cheese would have so many uses. it would be great for grilled cheese sandwiches first of all. It would also be good for making nacho cheese dip and cheese sauces.

One thing my mom makes with it is a sauce to make burritos. She just mixes velveta with canned no-bean chili and pours it over the top of burritos. The same thing can be used as a dip for tortilla chips. Velveta usually makes a good cheese sauce to put on veggies and works for making homemade macaroni and cheese.

I would make this awesome dip that I learned to make from a woman at work. Velvetta, sausage,hamburger, and pimentos....ohh so good with tortilla chips! You can do a ton of things with that cheese.

My first reaction is to suggest you throw it away! It's really not very good for you.... however, if you must eat it, it's good as grilled cheese sandwiches. Also you can mix some salsa into it, heat it and pour it over come tortilla chips to make nachos. Melt it and pour it over some brocoli, though that's doing the brocoli quite a disservice...

I don't really have Velveeta often, and grew up without it, but I know of a few good things that you can couple with it. It makes pretty tasty broccoli and cheese. It also makes delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. It's great if you mix some of your favorite salsa with it and heat it up for a good dip for plain chips. Think of what you'd normally use melted cheeses in and just try it out. Instead of a slice of American cheese try a thinly sliced piece of Velveeta on things like hamburgers. There are other dishes like cheese soup, cheesy potatoes and variations (ie: potatoes au gratin), various casseroles, lasagna, potato soup, baked potatoes, grits and cheese, bean dips, various Mexican inspired dishes and foods like enchiladas and quesadillsa, and even chili that you can incorporate Velveeta cheese into pretty easily. I don't cut back on salt though so I can't speak about how to lower the sodium within it. I would think that there wouldn't be a good way to lower the salt in it since it's already been processed with it. The stuff seems to melt and go a long way so try to use less than you usually would in a recipe.

I just made a really good (to me, anyway) soup with Velveeta like cheese. I, too, had some given to me! Anyway, I cooked some broccoli and cauliflower stems and leaves and put in mixed greens that I'd frozen earlier, then I added turkey ham because I can't eat pork, simmered it all for a few minutes, then added enough of the cheese to make the soup taste cheesy. That, with a hunk of bread, makes a good meal and doesn't take long to cook.

Broccoli, melt it down and use it on Broccoli, or make salsa dip with it.

Macaroni and cheese was the first thing to came to mind - my wife did that recently. Would it work for grilled cheese sandwiches?

Mmmm, broccoli cheese soup.. And what's good about this is you can make a bunch and freeze what you can't eat right away..Wow, that sounds so good right now, but I never learned to make it right, I have to depend on my husband to make it..:(

I think somebody already said this but Velveeta and broccoli are amazing together. I usually cook the brocolli in a seperate pan and then cut a chunk of Velveeta put it in a sauce pan add some skim milk to it and make it in to a cheese sauce then drain the broccoli and pour the cheese sauce over it and stir and it tastes so darn good. Add even more milk and turn it in to a Broccoli cheese soup. This also works really well for Cauliflower too.

This time of year is a good time to microwave it and serve it with hot chili peppers or other veggies from the garden. Add it to your next mac and cheese dish. Add some to chili or just beans. If you have people over or your husband likes to watch football it makes for a good sauce to go with hot dogs and chili or whatevr.

add it to salso for a chip dip. OR Grill cheese sandwiches made with velveta is the best!!

I guess I am like a few other people. I would make a chip dip! I would use veggies of course and also get some salsa to add to it. It will be so delicious!! You can do tons with a big thing of velveeta!

can you freeze it? i would make a cheese sauce for nachos, but mac and cheese sounds yummy too!

we used to take Velveta and melt it with cream of mushroom soup, or just a can of mushrooms, broccoli, and LOTS of garlic, then mix in some plain rice (we used white but I guess if you want to be more healthy you could use brown (yuk)) and make a kind of casserole out of it - it was supposed to be a dip without the rice, but we used it this way to make a meal out of it. Maggie also has it shredded and put in scrabbled eggs, melts really nice. Grilled cheese sandwiches... None of these things need extra salt, at least I don't need extra salt...
