A “Cheesy” Dip Story

Big Guy was so excited to find a Win Schuler cheese pot while we were on one of our antique mall trips. I promised I would pull out my mom’s Win Schuler cheese dip recipe so we could relive the early days of our marriage to see my mom’s own cheese pot filled to the brim with her version of Win Schuler. As I reviewed the recipe, it called for a pound of Velvetta Cheese which immediately reminded me she only made this cheese dip for a party because “it could feed the masses.”

I was tempted to make this recipe until I realized I did not have “masses” to feed this large amount of cheese dip. I did the research to pare down the recipe, but even looking up other sources, the star ingredient was the one pound of Velvetta…no substitute!

To my delight, I happened to come across it as a pre-packaged item at my local grocery store. The family business has been around for over one hundred years, but I guess even they realized our modern world no longer needs to make a personal cheese dip for a large crowd. If I do, I have the perfect pot!
