Win Schuler Bar Cheese

I am constantly amazed how many products keep appearing on the shelves at my grocery store that were made when I was a kid because buying the real product was deemed a luxury. My parents founded a community theatre, so I vividly remember my mom trying to make different dips and cheese balls for their frequent cast parties following one of their productions.

One that was a party favorite was her faux Win Schuler cheese. I think she liked to make it because it made a lot and could feed a lot of people. I still have the recipe which included Velveeta cheese, hot sauce, mayo, horseradish, and bacon. It seems there was some microwave action to make it all come together, but I was never in the kitchen for that part of the prepping as my mom was convinced it was dangerous for children to be exposed to the “waves” coming out of the machine. I guess it was ok since she lived to be 90!

I find it ironic that mom saved money making the dip in her day whereas it would cost me more with today’s prices. My appreciation to Win Schuler for packaging their cheese products at a reasonable price!
