GARLIC CHEESE image

After Kraft discontinued their Garlic Cheese Roll, I thought I'd never be able to make our family favorite "Garlic Cheese Grits Casserole" again. Then we came across this recipe. A family tradition was saved!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 oz cream cheese, room temperature
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp seasoned salt
1 lb american cheese loaf (velveeta), shredded
1 1/2 lb sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, garlic powder and seasoned salt until fluffy.
  • 2. Add American cheese and mix well.
  • 3. Add cheddar cheese and mix thoroughly, frequently scraping down sides of bowl and scraping up from the bottom. (This takes several minutes to become thoroughly incorporated.)
  • 4. Divide garlic cheese into four equal portions, wrap well, then refrigerate or freeze.
  • 5. SUGGESTION TO DIVIDE AND STORE: Put cheese into a gallon size zipper bag. Lay on flat surface, press to remove as much air as possible and zip bag closed. Using a rolling pin, roll and flatten until smooth, even and pressed into each corner of bag. Using a sharp chef's knife, cut bag in half, then cut each in half again to make four equal portions. Place each in a quart size zipper bag and freeze or refrigerate.
  • 6. To use frozen portion, remove from freezer ahead of time and allow to come to room temperature before adding to a recipe.
