Velveeta kills this. Do the sane thing using the sodium citrate method and real cheese.
Can you post your method with the sodium citrate. I have not had a recipe turn out for me yet using that stuff.
To be honest, I halfway wing it. I always here you have to measure things out exactly but... I never do. I generally do 3/4 of a beer (rest is for me) then about a 1 lb of cheese, finely grated (I grate my own) and 1 tsp of sodium citrate. I heat the beer until it is nearly boiling then back off and add the sodium citrate to let it dissolve completely. After that, I let the beer cool just a bit and then keep the stovetop on just a hair above low and slowly stir in the cheese. Don't dump it all at once, just slowly add in a little at a time. I add about 1/2 cup, let it melt, then add in the next half cup. The finely grated cheese melts faster than coarse. After adding in all of the cheese, you can add whatever else you want. I personally like just adding a drop of liquid smoke and calling it a day. Maybe crumbled bacon if I'm in the mood for a heart attack. I hate rotel, but for others, I have added diced tomatoes plus a few spices to make rotel dip. It always goes over extremely well. I also have added jalepenos or chilis. My favorite thing is mac and cheese. Absolutely amazing using this cheese sauce.
