There is NOTHING wrong with Velvetta. :-) I actually prefer this type when making grilled cheese sandwiches. It melts easily. It’s also used when making Mac and Cheese along with the cheddar. And, yes, it’s been used with hominy as well.
Try adding Mexican “Menonita” Cheese which is really Amish
You’re correct! There really isn’t anything wrong with Velveeta - even if there isn’t anything terribly ‘Right’ about it!
I stayed away from it for a long time, thinking it had bad ‘trans-fats’ - but it doesn’t, and it’s a great ingredient for things like Broccoli-Cheese soup, or Cheese Sauce over cauliflower. (I would add some real cheese to those recipes, for flavor, though...the Broccoli-Cheese soup recipes usually call for a garnish of real cheddar cheese on top, which really makes the recipe.)
