Family Recipes: Velveeta Cheese Breakfast Casserole
When I make a family recipe like this Velveeta Cheese Breakfast Casserole that is supposed to be packed full of ooey gooey cheese there is only one product out there that will fit the bill and it is Velveeta Cheese
A block of cheddar or a bag of shredded cheese, regardless of the brand will not melt the way Velveeta does.
Velveeta Cheese is like liquid gold. It is the only cheese that will melt smooth and sometimes run down your chin if you're not careful.
I was lucky this time with my breakfast casserole recipe.
I was careful to keep the Velveeta Cheese from running down my chin but I plead the 5th as far as my shirt is concerned.
Velveeta Breakfast Casserole Recipe
I can remember the excitement when I was a child and my mother brought home a big block of Velveeta Cheese from the grocery store.
If she had bought it for a recipe she planned to make she would have to hide it because us kids would get into it and cut a big hunk off of it and eat it.
Even as an adult I do the same thing.
As soon as I got home from shopping the other day I opened the package of Velveeta and sliced off a thick slice and ate it as I was putting away the rest of my purchases.
Can you blame me?
Please tell me I am not the only one that does this!
This cheesy breakfast casserole recipe will make a 9 x13 baking dish and will feed a large family.
It would also be great for a holiday breakfast or brunch.
If you have a smaller family then you can divide the recipe in half and make an 8x8 baking pan.
you'll have to trim the hash brown patties to fit the bottom of the smaller pan. 12 hash brown patties fit the bottom of the 9x13 inch baking dish perfectly.
