kraft kitchens tips

Substitute

Prepare as directed, using Kraft Brie Cheese or Cracker Barrel Extra Old Cheddar Cheese.

Cooking with Beer

When cooking with beer, the pale ales are generally considered to be the most versatile beers. Nut-brown ales lend themselves particularly well to cheese dishes, while the wheat ales go well with fish.

Make it Easy

Freeze cheese 20 min. to make it easier to slice.
