I can't see why you would need the oil. Just melt the butter and put the
flour in there. Cook it for a minute then slowly whisk in the milk. Then
add the cheese. Shredded cheese. Not slices. It's dead easy.

And don't forget the relish. Sweet or dill relish - shouldn't matter!

Hmmm... That sounds a bit odd.

I used to make a pasta salad with relish that was really good. I adapted a
recipe on the Kraft mac and cheese box. Theirs called for ham which I don't
like. I subbed in tuna. Had all sorts of chopped raw veggies and some
cooked peas. Mayo for dressing. It was actually very good.

Olive tapenade, especially if you switch from mild to strong cheese.

It's supposed to. It's probably Sheldon's recipe.

I don't think your recipe could be called mac 'n cheese, actually. It
should probably be re-named as a "Macaroni Hot Dish" recipe. ;-)

The give-away is the "slices". Are we talking American cheese, which
is not even real cheese? Ick! May as well buy some Kraft
cheese-inna-pouch instant mac/cheese or use cheese-wiz.

I just assumed it was still "somewhere" in parts unknown... who knows
where they put it in the mega-grocery stores we have to shop in these
days? I have a hard enough time finding Colby Jack cheese (which
would actually be on my shopping list).

I saw it at an Asian market not long ago (?) Lots of it, in fact. I
don't know why. I think it's big in Canada and Alaska for some
reason, too.

I have no idea where to look for it in a grocery store. I obviously
don't peruse that section often. or I see it and my eyes just don't
register it. I seem to recall seeing spray cheese recently... So I'd
guess near the crackers and chips.

It's usually with the crackers.

Yes. With the crackers. My daughter who wouldn't touch Velveeta with a 10
foot pole used to eat Cheese Whiz. She hasn't eaten it for many years. She
does however eat aerosol cheese and so does my husband. I will have it once
in a while on a potato chip if I am in a super hurry and need a quick snack.
But it would never be my first choice.

I have no idea. I was thinking of some Kraft cheese glop in a jar,
often used for nachos and similar inedible cheese dishes.

I saw it not long ago - it's on the shelf by Velveeta (not
refrigerated). I used to like Cheese Whiz now and then, but they
changed the consistency/texture and it's really bad now.
