Who knew - you can make your own version "Velveeta" at home! Guess what - it tastes better too! Guest blogger JD Provence whipped up a batch to test things out. This is what he's come up with - give it a try! Enjoy! Diane
Homemade Copy-Cat Velveeta Ingredients 1 cup boiling water 1 pkt unflavored gelatin (1/4 oz) 6 Tablespoons dried milk powder cheddar cheese, shredded (16oz) Directions
Thank you to JD Provence for testing out this recipe and sharing his photos and thoughts on the final result. Diane's Hackney Burger
Ingredients: 1/2 pound 85% ground beef 1/2 pound 93% ground beef 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 4 Dark Rye Slices (oblong) Directions: Add all spices to ground beef; lightly knead spices into beef and divide into two (your making two 1/2 pound burgers.) Shape each section into an oblong patty the shape of the bread. Make an indentation in the middle of the oblong patties (a large in width and length indentation - so when beef cooks - the patty stays flat.) Heat some ghee in a non-stick pan large enough to hold both patties. Lay the beef down once pan is hot and do not move patty. Let the beef cook at least 3 minutes before flipping to other side. A "medium" cooked burger will take about 9 minutes *temp meat to ensure doneness. Add cheese slices over the top of patties - turn heat off burner and place lid onto pan; let cheese melt - then serve hot on dark rye. Burger is best served with thinly slices onions and ketchup only. Yield: Two Hackney Burgers This dish is easy to make and stands great as part of a dinner (think soup and sandwiches) or a party appetizer. I like to make my own Hawaiian dinner rolls and use those but, store bought is just as great! I prefer to make the "mustard topping" in the morning, pour over the assembled complete dish - then bake off in time for dinner.
Enjoy! Diane Link to the Homemade Hawaiian Rolls below.

This recipe makes 12 sliders and most people eat 2. You can cut this recipe in half and use an 8x8 baking dish and 6 buns. Hawaiian Dinner Rolls Recipe - CLICK HERE This recipe isn't mine at all - its MY variation of a classic from Kraft. They use 3 cups of a vegetable mix, no cheese in the original. I use cheese, steamed broccoli and at Thanksgiving - all bets are off as you can build a beautiful "Leftovers Casserole" using cranberry sauce, turkey and stuffing! Enjoy! Diane
