Velveeta is one of the things I miss. I used to drop chunks of it in a pot of Hormel chunky chili no beans and let it melt. Was really good.
We can’t get Velveeta over here. I could order it from eBay, but I don’t want to pay $40 for some shitty fake cheese by mail.
But without it, you can’t make decent nacho cheese. UK nachos have solidified, rubbery melted cheddar on them, and they suck. American nachos are the best. The only place we can get nachos with good nacho cheese is at the movie theater. And we rarely have time to go.
Hormel, to their undying shame and detriment, changed their Chili preparation some years ago. It’s just not the same.
Velveeta is pretty good for a classic egg omelet, although I have tried making them with more expensive varieties. Gouda is nice, and pepper jack, but I enjoy Velveeta here. So sue me!
I think baked omelets benefit from “real” cheeses, but for a quick frying pan omelet, Velveeta is hard to beat.
We had that a lot during the lean days, and my mom put a piece of bacon on it, too.
When I was a lass, my mother never bought Velveeta or salami because it was Poor People Food (or something). However, we always had a jar of Cheez Whiz in the frig. Go Figure.
I adored it as a kid, enjoying it at all my friends and cousins houses with much envy.
Now that I am a so-called adult, I usually have a brick of this stuff in my fridge
( along with salami) on permanent basis. Just to fill the hole of this gap in my youth.
Is it just me or is Velveeta just one of the best product names evar?
This is so cool! You guys must be so constipated.
A mystery book could be written about this, ala Davinci Code. Yanno. Cheesy Fiction.: Cheeses of Nazareth or something.
Velveta Shells and Cheese are probably the best mac and cheese type thing ever…
I made the velvetta and hormel chili dish a couple years ago for the missus and I to enjoy during the StuporBowl. I (as usual) made way too much food, and the chili con queso was barely touched. After many, many hours sitting out, it congealed into a consistency somewhere between jello and injection-molded hard rubber. Halfway through spooning it into the sink the next morning, the garbage disposal said “I don’t think so” (really).
A friend of mine told me she wants to name her child “Velveeta.” She played it off as a joke at the time, but I wouldn’t be really surprised if she actually used it (maybe as a middle name or something).
I emailed her the link to the fudge recipe, thanks.
Wasn’t there a band called Velveeta Underground? I know the Mockers had a song by that name…
Velveeta is really the best for mac and cheese. It can’t be denied.
And speaking of Cheez Whiz, is anyone else here a fan of Cheez Whiz and green olive sandwiches? Preferably open-faced on rye bread or those round cinnamon loaves (don’t knock it 'til you’ve tried it). Mmmmm … I could go for one right now.
this is just plain wrong.
Name that quote: “Did you get me my cheese whiz, boy?”
These are two of the most disgusting ideas for food I have seen in a long time. This means, of course, I cannot wait to try 'em. 
Ugh, you people need help. Cheez whiz is not something you eat, it’s something you consult a urologist for.
That is so going on my grocery list. I’ll buy the two pound brick, and save half for Ro-tel Dip dinner a week later.
Use Wolf chili instead. Same great taste you remember. Or better yet, toss in a can of drained Ro-Tel as well. Dip of the gods!
No, that would be vulveeta.

To support my theory that there is a song about every conceivable topic, I present the lyrics from the bridge of Family Restaurant, by Uncle Bonsai:
Velveeta
It’s on everything that you can buy, it’s
Velveeta
It’s the Spam of the cheeses, it’s sure to appease, it’s
Velveeta
Just the name brings the tears to my eyes, it’s
Velveeta
It’s like cheese with a perfect disguise
Velveeta is made from recycled plastic.
The plastic-old rubber duckies. :o
