I got a little single-serving crock pot on Black Friday, so I’m curious what your favorite things to make in one are.

    Single serving crock pot is (to me) otherwise known as the queso pot!

    Get a bag of tortilla chips

    Throw a block of velveeta in the pot and cover it with Ro-Tel

    Turn it on and get all melty

    Stir until combined

    Open your bag of chips and put yourself into a cheese-coma.

      With something called sodium citrate and a splash of milk, you can make quality cheese behave like Velveeta. Search “sodium citrate” cheese if your interested. Oh, and you can make sodium citrate from baking soda and limes so it’s not like it’s unhealthy or anything.

      I happen to loathe Velveeta because of Jimmy Carter so I was excited to get my nachos at home again.

        I think my dad’s family got cheese. I assumed it was because they were native American. I don’t remember ever trying it - i just saw a couple of big blocks that said CHEESE on a shelf.

      My buddy makes this for his Superbowl parties, it’s the main reason I go since I’m not into football

        I am embarrassed about how often I do this just because I can. My love of advanced cheese polymers with spicy/crunchy has surely packed the nooks and crannies of my gut with wads of micro-plastics but I just can’t help myself around queso.
