    Hot Little Tip

    Pre-shredded cheese contains anticlumping additives and preservatives that prevent the cheese from melting as it should. I buy my Cheddar and Monterey Jack in blocks, shred it in the food processor, and then keep it in plastic bags for a few days until I’m ready to use it. It’s just better—and cheaper. One 8-ounce block yields 2 cups of shredded cheese.
