Velveeta always reminds me of the ‘Free Government Cheese’ I ate as a kid. My Grandma Anita made the BEST Mac-N-Cheese with it.
I never knew I was ‘poor’ growing up; we ate like Royalty. :)
Thanks for the recipe. That sounds like a good one to take to our next Family Gathering, though I’ve ended up ‘in charge’ of always making the Crock Pot Mushrooms...NEVER any leftovers:

Oddly, I like the Kroger brand ‘nice and cheesy’ better than Velveeta. I did get government cheese too, when I was a young mother. But the kind I got was more ‘substantial’ American cheese than the velveeta and nice&cheesy brands. The Government cheese, to me, was more like the Field’s or even boars head (if you are really luck) American cheese.
I have a huge drawer of where I store 6 crockpots most are around 1.5-2 qt. size. One is 3 qt. oval shape. My oldest one is a 4 Qt. that I store on a utility shelf.
I do all my sides for holiday's in crockpots, turn them to warm when done and it works out great.
Because I love 💚 to use the crockpot for everything - I can fix it and forget it, I am for sure gonna try this one even though I'm not wild about ranch or Italian dressing.
Finally checking in on the thread this week. We had a wedding to help set up for a friend on Saturday, then partied all night that night. Sunday ended up being a day of rest after that! I got a little gardening in yesterday afternoon in between rain showers, which it looks like I will be dealing with most of this week. At any rate, hubby and I love mushrooms so I will have to try this recipe very soon. Even though I’m trying to cut down on the amount of butter I use, this recipe has me intrigued, so I will definitely be trying it as a side dish soon!

Anyway you cook and serve it, it's a winner.
