It has its uses. I love melting it into eggs, and tater tot hot dish. It’s just not the same without it

Velveeta’s best use case is combining it with a real cheese to make it creamier imo

Love it too, in limited settings.
I refer to it as cheese-like subtance

It’s good for melting. It is fat and phosphate salts with cheese flavor. There is a version of this that you can spread on bread, which works excellently as a binding agent for cheese sauce and is full of emulsifiers. The problem is the high phosphate content. This prevents calcium absorption in the intestines. There’s nothing wrong with processed cheese in moderation and occasionally; you shouldn’t eat it every day. Incidentally, cola also contains phosphoric acid and hinders calcium absorption.

try this recipe for perfectly melty cheese slices. best of both worlds.
most of these are literally just water/milk emulsified with cheddar cheese, the people who turn their nose up at it and get snobbish are not only annoying but uneducated when they say they’re just a bunch of chemicals lol

Process cheese is delicious. Anyone who hates on American cheese but eats cream cheese is a hypocrite of the highest order. At least American cheese has actual cheese in it.

Some people call me picky. I prefer to call it I know what I like to eat. Love cheese. There is always a place in my heart for kraft(Velveeta is good, prefer Kraft) singles for a grilled cheese on white nutrition-less bread.

Y’all ever make chicken spaghetti? I recommend like a third of what the recipe calls for but it’s still good

There are cheeses and cheese products. Both can be amazing or terrible. I never understood all the upset attached to the distinction between the two.

I love Velveeta. It melts perfectly.

I’m not saying Velveeta isn’t good (those slices make a killer grilled cheese), but I personally don’t classify it as a cheese. It’s more like a delicious tile grout.

Velveeta is good. I’ll agree with that. But most plastic cheese is not very good.

This feels like such an American POV. I’m not saying it’s wrong to enjoy this fake cheese (enjoy what you enjoy!), but is it for the cheese sub?
I’ll countenance vegan cheese because its intentions are pure, but this is just another food, no?

Last I checked, cheese gatekeeping is frowned on in this subreddit.
All cheese has its use, so it’s okay to like what you like. Anybody who disses particular cheeses just haven’t found a proper use for said cheese.

It definitely has its place. I have no desire to just snack on it, but I have an old family recipe for a cheesy spaghetti (calls for a pound of Velveeta) that is absolutely delicious!

Melts good with milk and salsa.

Plastic cheese is like pasta. Good on a ton of things and a ton of recipes. But you’ll get made fun of for eating it plain

Agree 100. But I prefer kraft singles.

i’ll never enjoy a grilled cheese more than the ones that are simply a slice of kraft between two pieces of bread, it doesn’t get better than that for me

I do like the Velveeta Mac n cheese. Though it is only good after you first mix it. For some reason it seems to lose flavor, especially reheated the next day.
