How to Make Homemade Velveeta Substitute Copycat
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a smooth paste forms (roux).
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth, ensuring no lumps form.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and stir in cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and cream cheese until melted and smooth.
- Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. Enjoy!
