    I have used Velveeta Brick Cheese in the past.
    I have used other Velveeta products in the past (dinner kits, shredded cheese, etc).
    I would make this dish for me/my family.
    I would serve the dish at a summer BBQ party.
    After seeing this recipe, I will consider using Velveeta in more of my recipes.
