It's not necessary to use the habanero pepper. It's great with out it also.
Enjoy! Debbie

That looks great! I have a big hunk of veleeta that needs used. :chef:
 
This looks lovely :)

Since I am from Australia, I was wondering if anyone knew what cheese I could use as a substitute for Veleeta as I have not heard of that cheese?

Cheers :)

Can you get Cheez Whiz? It comes in a jar, not quite the same.

Kraft American Cheese is also somewhat similar.

You may be able to find Velveeta somewhere on the shelves, until it's opened (yellow cardboard box, enclosing a foil wrapper), it doesn't need refrigeration. There are Velveeta lovers and haters here, you will discover!
 
Cheers guys :)

I will have a look in the international cheese section and see if I can find it :)

No, have not seen Cheez Whiz unfortunately :neutral:

It is a Kraft Foods product. You may know it by another name Down Under.
 
We certainly do have a few Kraft cheese products here Fiona

I have found it :clap:

Kraft Cheddar

Fiona when you mentioned Kraft and how Dawgluver mentioned that it was in a cardboard box wrapped in foil...this is certainly the one!

Thanks guys, well done!

Nope! I have to get mine sent. One friend sends us two jars about every two years. We probably don't eat it as fast as you do. Very salty!
 
Aww that is a pity :(

Pleased to hear that you get sent some though and yes it is very salty, I think that is what I love about it ;)
 
Yay, another lover of the lovely Vegemite :)

I agree Hoot, Marmite is not as good as Vegemite by a long shot, sorry to hear you cant get Vegemite close by
