James --

I am proud to say that my favorite cheese dips are made with Velveeta....
At the risk of insulting the CH gourmands on the list, here goes:

Chile con Queso in the Style of Cletus

1/2 lb hot breakfast sausage
1 white onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2-3 habaneros, minced
2-3 tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and minced
1/2 tsp. smoked habanero powder
1 tsp. Chimayo chile powder
1/4 tsp. toasted, ground cumin
1/4 tsp. toasted, ground Mexican oregano
1 lb. pasteurized, processed cheese-flavored food (Velveeta)

Render sausage, leave in saucepot with grease.  Add onion, garlic, and
chile -- sauté until soft.  Add tomatoes and dry spices and simmer until
juice is reduced slightly.  Add Velveeta and melt.

As for canning cheese, I would check out the Ball or Kerr web site.  I've
never canned cheese, but my father used to can tuna when I was a kid -- it
seems like if you are able to can fish, cheese shouldn't be a problem, as
long as you have a pressure cooker.  Good luck.

Matt
