Cheese Sauce for the trail?

[slbirdnerd]

Hi, all. I'm putting together food for this year and looking for new cheese sauce options for my mac n cheese. Last year I used the Velveeta packets out of the single serve microwavable bowls. Not very cost effective and kinda wasteful, so I need a better option.

I did find Velveeta now has a box of just 3 packets, but the packets are too much for a serving for me. I don't mind the weight, but...

Guessing there have to be some good cheese sauce powders out there?

Thanks!

I haven't found a cheddar cheese sauce I like.

How about alfredo (cheese) sauce mix? Knorr, Simply Organic, McCormick.

harmony house foods .com. they got.

Might one of these be something that would work for you?

Looks good Socks, much better than some of the powder/commercial dehydra products, which contain various copious amounts of "nefarious biological ingredients" such as partiallyhydrogenated soybean oil, etc...

Packit Gourmet has a cheese sauce power:

I used to be able to buy cannisters of the cheese powder used in kraft macaroni and cheese, add in some fat and its works well (expect for the orange coloring).

2 parts Barry Farm (http://www.barryfarm.com) cheddar cheese powder to 1 part Nido dry whole milk powder. Add liquids (water/broth) and solids (mac/meat/veggies) to taste. Can be carried in bulk for pot meals or prepackaged single servings for eating out of the bag. A few drops of canola oil gives it a nice texture but olive oil will overpower the cheese flavor.

the BEST cheese powder to bring.

Can get it a lot of places, like Amazon, its amazing on all trail foods. 1lb bag has 2000 calories - it's a practical meal replacement. I used it on my AT hike, I store it at home, and use it just in general still. It's amazing.

Gordon foods has stuff called cheese powder I have had luck with it on tortilla chips with beans

This is exactly what I found, but got the plain cheddar; it's good, same stuff they have in their shells and cheese. I guess I can just use half, put a tiny binder clip on it or something--surely it'll keep for a few days. I just thought if there is a good powder I can give it a try.

Second this - I bring these on every hike and mix them with whole-wheat elbow macaroni or couscous or brown rice or (occasionally) bulgur wheat.
