  I mean Philly cheese steaks are made with canned cheese wiz, and then there’s salsa queso dip they sell in cans, and everyone loves that shit.

    Ah, I was thinking of canned mac n cheese which I tried once and the several times I tried different canned soups containing cheese. It didn’t taste like cheese and it wasn’t tolerable for me. That said I have enjoyed canned queso dip.

    You can make that queso dip way better yourself in like 5 minutes, it’s just a block of queso fresco (or white american), chop it up for faster melting, sodium citrate, milk, peppers, and seasoning. The sodium citrate is vital to keep it from getting grainy.

      I mean you can make Mac and cheese way better than the stuff in a box, but people still love that shit.

    Where are you getting Philly cheese steaks with canned cheese???

    However chef boyardee and spaghetti-os have been a thing. My mom only got them once for us (in the 80s) and I wasn’t impressed. Liked kraft macaroni and cheese though.

      In Philadelphia. The big, famous cheese steak places use it, like Pat’s and Geno’s.

        Philadelphia is one of the few cities I haven’t spent any time, and it’s super disappointing to find this out.

        I get them with American or provolone cheese most places up in New England. Monterey Jack works well too.

        I can’t imagine cheese wiz making these better in any way. Maybe I’ll find out someday.
