  1. Okay. Found spot for questions. Is the milk in powdered form or liquid

  1. I have made this twice now, and it is fabulous! I love that I can control what I put in there, and I think it tastes way better than store bought. Thanks Connie, you made my week!!
     
  2. This has a good texture, but I could really taste the powdered milk-a flavor I just don't care much for. But it is an easy recipe and useful for cheese sauces, and I really like knowing what's in those cheese sauces! Thanks~
     
  3. Love this! Made it with sharp cheddar, monterrey jack and colby and it came out delicious. Next time, I will use the whole packet of gelatin, as we like a firmer cheese, but that is the only change I would make, and as that is based on personal preference only, this recipe is 5 stars!
     
  4. My kids live for mac & cheese and grilled cheese sandwiches made with Velveeta so I decided to try this DIY version and you know what? It's GREAT! They couldn't tell the difference and I like knowing what's going into their cheese product meals : )
     
  5. The way it is made tastes too cheddar-y for velveeta. I substituted colby for 1/2 of the cheddar and had success. I also tried yogurt cheese with it, which added a different, but pleasant flavor.

  1. Combined the three batches in a separate mixing bowl before pouring into the loaf pan.
