What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?
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.

Re: What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?
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.)

Re: What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?
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!

Re: What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?
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

Re: What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?
You could stuff some chicken breasts with sour cream/plain yogurt/ ricotta cheese with spinach and seasoning.
Top with tomato and seasoning and then top with cheese. ( Or make a breaded type topping with the cheese) Use it for quiche or as part of the cheese in an Alfredo or Mac and cheese casserole. |

Omelets.
You could try those keto waffles! I like the meatball idea above. Make a heap and freeze? |

Re: What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?
I refreeze all the time. I had no clue refreezing doesn’t go well.

Re: What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?
Quote:
But I've always been taught it as a food safety thing to never refreeze, and the night we figured it out, I ate one of those desserts...and was responsible for checking the freezer after one of my customers returned two different desserts (ended up being a whole bunch, some visibly green ), and thus I can't unsee or untaste it. I generally won't refreeze raw ingredients, only after I've cooked them into a meal to know that I've killed off any new bacteria or mold introduced while thawing.

Re: What can I make with shredded cheese, besides pizza?
Mouldy desserts. Ew!
I would freeze in portions so there isn't the need to thaw and refreeze. If I did freeze the entire bag I would break off or crumble what is needed and immediately put the rest back in the freezer. Adding to ideas above, twice baked potatoes or a version of Pioneer Woman's smashed (crash?) potatoes that have cheese melted on them at the end (the original recipe seems to have been removed from the web but there are many copycat recipes with red skinned potatoes out there).
