RIP Velveeta?

[AntiChrist]

Velveeta is extremely salty

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Milk, water, milkfat, whey, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate; contains less than 2% of: salt, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid as a preservative, sodium alginate, sodium citrate, enzymes, apocarotenal (color), annatto (color), and cheese culture.

[The Gemini Method]

All that Annatto from the Achiote tree and that's where you get the reddish color at times...feint of course...

Is that the Velveta?

The Tillamook Cheddar is:

Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes, Annatto (color).

This one is awesome:



Ingedients:

Cultured Milk, Salt, Enzymes.

I really didn't think Velveeta had actual milk in it. I thought it was some petroleum based that Phillips 66 came up with.

[Wild Cobra]

Because it makes better chili con queso than regular cheese.

Now that I visited the Tillamook site, I found this:

Ingredients

2 cups (8 oz) Tillamook Monterey Jack Cheese, cubed
1 cup (4 oz) Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese, cubed
2 jalapeno chili peppers (stems and seeds removed), finely chopped
¼ red onion, diced
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1 Roma tomato, chopped
1 dash of cayenne pepper
3 dashes Tabasco sauce
Preparation

Preheat oven to 450°F. Mix all ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, then arrange in a terracotta baking dish. Bake in oven until the cheese is thoroughly melted, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and cool for 2-3 minutes, then enjoy immediately. Gather friends and family and serve as a dip with your favorite tortilla chips.

I use a microwave and slightly different ingredients. I skip the Tabasco, and use some Daves Total Insanity. Use more cheddar (sharp), and cream cheese instead of MJ.

Hate Velveeta and American cheese.

There's a load of the HEB brand blocks if anyone needs to stock up for the SuperBowl.

a ty cheese-like industrial substance, chemically aged and full of chemicals

[CosmicCowboy]

You health nuts crack me up. Eating chemical laden food and drinking alcohol is like working out at the gym. it makes you stronger and more resistant to the alcohol and chemicals. Fried foods the same way. My mother only knew how to fry meat for every meal and my parents are both in their 90's alive and kickin. My vegetarian sister died of cancer at 54.

Isn't that the truth of how things work. Now I favor the natural choices and healthier choices when the taste is good, but I don't go overboard like so many of these idiots do.

"Bechemel" hardly screams "health nut."

Technically, they are chemicals. However, they are all natural except sodium phosphate.

calcium phosphate is the principal form of calcium found in bovine milk
lactic acid is also found in milk
sorbic acid is organic and found in various types of vegitation
sodium alginate is a salt of alginate which comes from brown algae
sodium citrate is a slat of citric acid
apocarotenal is found in spinach and citric fruits
annatto comes from Bixa orellana and is a natural food coloring.

yes but it sounds complicated so it must be unhealthy.

total bull

"my parents are both in their 90's alive and kickin"

so from their anecdotal longevity, your nutrition recommendation is for everybody to (over) eat BigFood food-like substances (eg velveeta), fried foods, high carbs, with no regard for health consequences?

or are you just gratuitously bragging about your parents?

or do you recommend something other approach?

looks good, though I'd skip the jalapenos and use serranos instead, since you can never predict whether a jalapeno will have heat or be like a bell pepper.

[Wild Cobra]

LOL..

That's what some people think when they don't understand the ingredients.

I have nothing against Velveeta's ingredients. I just prefer real, whole, natural cheese.
