Immediate Gratification

I’m making a thin pizza with Grande Cheddar Blend. I can’t resist.
This stuff appears to be mozzarella and provolone, for the most part. If that’s true, maybe it will give me an idea what their mozzarella/provolone blend is like.
LOOK, I’M GOING TO MAKE THE PIZZA. This is the best rationalization I could come up with, so leave me alone.

I tried it. It’s extremely oily, which is fine, if you like oily pizza. The taste is very good, but no better than Costco cheese combined with cheddar. I can’t really detect the provolone. Would I buy it again? No.
Now what do I do with the remaining four pounds, ten ounces?

Submarine sandwiches! I love provolone on subs. It’s also a great use for the pepperonis.

I just know I’m going to be about the 5th person to say “Make another pizza.”

Put it on pizza and sell it. Lots of folks like oily pizza and don’t care if they can detect the provolone. If it tastes good and they enjoy it, isn’t that a good thing?

Do you have a fondue pot and a couple loaves of French bread?

Since the flavor is good, just blend it in with your preferred Costco cheese.
If you use 80%-90% Costco while blending in 10%-20% Grande I doubt it would harm the final product and nothing would go to waste.
It’s a win – win, and it’s beeing a good cheese steward!

My mind is fried, I don’t know why I noticed or cared to ask this – but was the last post picture 3 4# bags to get to the 12# total? Wouldn’t you be dealing with less than 4# of the mix then.

I souldn’t be quibbling like this – I must have stayed up too late watching the Olympic Hockey (and/or had too much beer doing so).
