In the early s, Monroe Cheese Company wanted to salvage its Swiss cheese wheels that were either broken or misshapen. So it enlisted the help of Emil Frey, a Swiss immigrant who tinkered with the scraps until discovering he could melt them together and add byproduct like whey until they melded back together in a velvety consistency.
Velveeta operated as a independent company in Monroe, NY until the food giant—which was already producing its own processed cheese products—purchased it. In , the iconic oval logo was introduced and has more or less remained the same ever since. Smart albeit sly marketers decided that adding whey made the cheese healthier and more nutritious and "highly nourishing" for "weight-watching moms" and "growing youngsters. In the AMA cited that Velveeta's nutritional value built " firm flesh.

Colby did not provide consistent results which is why it did not make the recipe cut. So sorry!! Velveeta , 1lb. Burger , one jar salsa and one can cream of mushroom soup.
I have been able to substitute everything but the velveeta , would I be able to put the two cheeses and milk along with all the other ingredients in the crockpot and have it turn out smooth and creamy or will I have to make the momveeta first and refrigerate first?
Hi Ginger! I would recommend you make the momveeta first, and add the other ingredients into the crockpot the meat being cooked. You can, of course, make the momveeta, refrigerate and then use it as you normally would use a block of velveeta.

Some of the recipes for Velveeta concocted to sell the product include:.
