This is such an easy recipe and one that my family loves. Right now, the bags of fresh cauliflower and broccoli mix is just $1 at Acme. I always keep these items on hand so I can whip up a quick weeknight meal if I need to.

Recipe type: easy, budget friendly
Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 bag of frozen veggies–broccoli alone, or mixed with cauliflower
- 1 lb of Velveeta
- 1 32 oz carton of chicken broth, low sodium
- I use low sodium broth and low fat Velveeta
- 1 T of Seasoning optional-I’ve used Essence of Emeril, Lawry’s Seasoned Salt and other mixes. I find it bland without a little something.
Instructions
- Simmer the veggies in the carton of broth for 10 mins or so, or until soft.
- Mash with a hand masher, in the pot of broth.
- While the veggies are simmering, cube the velveeta.
- Stir in the velveeta cubes. Done!
Notes
Note: While the veggies are simmering, I add salt, pepper, sometimes garlic powder, essence of Emeril, dried mustard–to add a bit of flavor. Also, for the most part, I find Velveeta to be a bit too salty for my taste. So I will cut it in half, and add another 8 oz of cheddar or Monterey Jack. I am thinking of trying 8 oz of cream cheese and 8 oz of something else, but am nervous to try. I found this in the Kraft magazine and have modified it a bit.
