I was at Walmart the other day and about croaked when I saw the price of Velveeta- $5.98 for a 2lb. block!!! I bit the bullet and bought it anyway- it was for a party. While complaining to my friend Amanda about it, she told me her recipe for the cheapest cheese dip. I made it for supper tonight- OH MY, I won't be buying Velveeta ever again!!!
Cheap Cheese Dip
1 pkg. Pioneer Gravy Mix (just the plain kind, not pepper or buttermilk)
1 pkg. Taco Seasoning Mix (I used 1/2 of this package)
1 (2c.) pkg American/Cheddar Shredded Cheese (I used 1/2 of this)
Make Gravy mix according to the directions. Once it's done, add your cheese and taco seasoning mix. I added a few splashes of milk to get the consistency right. You can add more or less taco seasoning if you want.
All that for about 4 bucks- and actually I have enough to make another batch later! It sounds crazy, but it's SO good!!!

I also noticed that velvita had gone up more than a 1.00, yikes! I have not given in yet on bying any more. But this recipe sounds good. I'll have to make it for Alan since he loves cheese dip and see what he thinks.
thanks for always sharing great recipes for those of us who wish we could cook like paula dean, but can't. audra
We just tried your cheese dip tonight and it was very yummy. And the other day I saw a book and immediately thought of you since you are a knitter and a dog lover-Knit Your Own Dog. Looks neat.
