\"Velveeta<\/a><\/p>\n

The combination of pale crust and it laying in a pool of its orange innards, made my microwaved Velveeta Stuffed Grilled Cheese look like the victim in a Law & Order crime scene. The vic, I mean, the snack looked like the Hot Pocket\u2019s little brother.<\/p>\n

I thought, \u201cIt looks bad, but maybe it tastes good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nope.<\/p>\n

The crust was gummy enough that it felt like I was chewing on raw dough. The cheese, which I scraped up and dumped onto the cheese pocket, had that familiar Velveeta flavor, but it was gritty for some reason. Then I thought, \u201cOkay, the first bite was bad, but maybe the second will be better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nope. It was still bad.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want to eat another bite. I didn\u2019t even want to look at its pale crust. To psyche myself up, I yelled, \u201cDo it for science!\u201d But I ended up throwing away the rest of it. I\u2019d show you photos of the microwaved stuffed grilled cheese, but I do not want to ruin the rest of your day.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are two other ways to prepare them \u2014 toaster oven and conventional oven. I went with the toaster oven because I thought a conventional oven was overkill for these.<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s a downside to using an oven it’s that the instructions say you have prepare two stuffed grilled cheeses at the same time. So if you have no friends, family, roommates, or neighbors you’re friendly with, you\u2019re going to be eating both of them and the 80 percent of your daily saturated fat they have.<\/p>\n

\"Velveeta<\/a><\/p>\n

But, that\u2019s not a completely bad thing. Because while they\u2019re barely edible when microwaved, they\u2019re downright delicious when prepared in a toaster oven. The crust had the crunch and butteriness of the toasted bread of grilled cheese sandwiches. And the cheese, which stayed in the crust, was warm, gooey, and tasted like good ol\u2019 pasteurized prepared cheese product. Every bite I took reminded me of the grilled cheese sandwiches I\u2019d make for myself when my parents felt I was responsible enough to use a stove at age 26.<\/p>\n

If my review has convinced you to purchase a box of Velveeta Stuffed Grilled Cheese, I beg of you, please prepare them in the toaster oven or regular oven. Don\u2019t be impatient and cook them in the microwave. Patience is a virtue. And patience is a Velveeta Stuffed Grilled Cheese you’ll want to eat.<\/p>\n
