...yeah but when you use it you're kind of capping the meal, you know? It's delicious because it's basically "cheese flavor concentrate" and hydrogenated oil. It's the oreo cream filling of cheese. Whatever you mix it with, it's going to be "velveeta and" because all the cheese-like characteristics have been left at the factory.

You mix a bunch of cheeses together and you've got... a continent's worth of cooking, really. But you mix "velveeta and" and it's going to be Tex Mex.

Truth. Mac'n'cheese without some form of orange extract is tough.

Nah. Making a basic cheese sauce is barely harder than dumping out the powdered Kraft bullshit.
