Poor Man's Food Challenge - It's Really Cheesy!

20181212_163409.jpg
We call this Poor Man's Queso and it is one of our favorites!


Scott and I have a favorite guilty pleasure food that is definitely not the healthiest food, but on those cold winter evenings when we are longing for junk food, we make what my kids and I have called Poor Man's Queso. The reason we call it this is because when my children were little a loaf of Velveeta was rather cheap and a full loaf would feed all of us and whoever was at our house. Turns out, Scott's family did the same.

Me and my kids in 1993 or 1994 goofing around and having fun.


While I was making this, I began to wonder if this recipe could be made for those who are vegans. Then I started to wonder if there were Velveeta type cheese loaves in other countries. If not, how would they recreate this dish? Suddenly, I thought:

This community LOVES food. They love challenges even more! I think I this would be an awesome challenge to bring to the Steemiverse! Oh, yes! I do believe a challenge is afoot!

I am going to show you the ingredients and the steps we take to prepare it. Then I want to see how you would make this if you were vegan or from a place that did not have a different the same ingredients. Be creative, have fun and show us with photos or video! The choice is yours.

Brown your meat.

Cut your cheese loaf in small cubes so it melts faster.

When meat is browned, add the diced tomatoes & chilies.

You are so welcome. I love how you all are encouraging people and supporting them all.

Sure does look yummy!

It really is. Somtimes we put black beans in it too! Its also extremely easy.

I'd be able to do most of the ingredients, but have never seen a pack of easy melt cheese in my life!

Mind you, I'd have to use lactose free ingredients for my hubby to be able to indulge so will need to get a little inventive.

Oh gosh! I am so sorry. Dietary issues are one of the worse. I totally understand if you hop on.

Ooh I remember we had Velveeta growing up, I've completely forgotten what it tastes like. Is it like taking American cheese and melting it? Such a good name too, it just sounds tasty. Queso looks great!

We love it but try not to over do it. That much processing is a little scary.

Yep - i've made something like this before for Superbowl Sunday dip hehehehe
its really good - very rich.. but like you said - sooooooo much processing hahahaa

can't eat that too often ;) but you have me hungry now hahahahahah

Oh, wow! I've never heard it called that before! Soo cool.

It's not called that. Hehehe I meant I make it.FOR Superbowl Sunday lololol

Hi! Nice to read you

I'm here via @crypto.piotr.

That cheese looks good (Queesooo!!!)!

Where I come from, that is a Rich Man's Food

Nice to meat you!

It's not cheap like it was 20 years back. No where near it, but that was what we called it. We do it maybe one every three months. It's one of those things that a guilty pleasure.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Ren

My pleasure

Happy Holidays!

That's a perfect snack on a lazy Sunday in front of TV.

Very much so. I think this would be the perfect time...
