Cheese Powder

– cheese powder is in the Dairy & Eggs section… $4.39/lb. These guys have just about anything you could want at competitive prices. Good customer service and quick shipping.

Walton Feed sells a 16 oz can of powdered cheese blend similar to the Kraft mix for $7.25 and a 13 oz can of powdered cheddar cheese for $9.95.

What you want is like this:

The stuff is also made by Tone’s and can be found in some Sams Clubs and Costco’s. I believ beprepared.com also sells it in large cans.

There is both Cheese Powder (which needs milk and butter added to work decently) and the stuff up above. The stuff up above just needs water to work :-)Cheese sauce powder feels like sour cream powder (another hard to find fun item), it feels less like a powder, and that is why it mixes up so easily..it has almost a damp feel (due to that it has fat in it.)

Now, I am lucky and can get it bulk at WinCo stores here in Wa state. For some East Coasties, I have shipped them half a lb of it or so for cost and S&H..so I can help you out if you can’t get it! (I pay around $5 a lb.)

Anyhoo…the stuff in Mac and cheese boxes will work..just not as well or as good tasting. If you use it to make a cheesy couscous, be sure to add in dry milk and maybe some Butter Buds to bump up the flavor.
