Method
- Toss the cheddar with the arrowroot and stir in the milk. Combine everything and smoke on a pellet grill, or bake, until melted and bubbly.
- Season the condiments to taste.
What we changed and why
- Toss the shredded cheddar with the arrowroot before stirring in the milk, so the dip melts smooth instead of turning oily.
- Velveeta has corn-based additives. Cheddar tossed with arrowroot and loosened with milk melts just as smooth.
- Pre-shredded cheese is coated in anti-caking starch.
- Ketchup without corn syrup, avocado oil mayo in place of soybean oil mayo, and organic condiments.
