What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?

Quiteria · 02-18-2021, 02:43 PM

We made a ton of pizza this week, and accidentally defrosted way too much shredded mozzarella and shredded cheddar.

I'm tempted to refreeze, but I know that doesn't go well.

Any ideas?

I've got over a gallon baggie of each.

Or almost any baked italian thing

You could turn any of it into a cheese sauce to top almost anything by starting with a rough thickened white sauce and slowly adding cheese to it.

Roasted veggies with cheese.

Quesideas or natchoes

In addition to the baked Italian ideas. . .
BAked onto chicken.
You can sprinkle it onto salads.
Put it in meatballs.
I feel like we aren't using up enough cheese with these ideas. . .
Put it on sandwiches and burgers instead of sliced cheese especially if you melt it.
Oh - CHEESE and hummus wraps with veggies.

Cheeseburger casserole-type thing

Stuffed French Bread (I use a bechamel sauce instead of the condensed soup, but you can do whatever you like.)

I’d refreeze, I think. And then use in baked meals over the next two weeks. So freeze in smaller portions. But you’ve gotten great ideas!

Last night I used up some mozzarella making mozzarella chicken (like naked chicken parm) and served it over cheesy grits (mozz and parm, but you could use cheddar).

Macaroni and cheese
Cheesy hashbrown potato casserole
Any kind of chowder soup

I refreeze all the time. I had no clue refreezing doesn’t go well.
