What goes with Velveeta cheese?
My friend gave me a thing of Velveeta cheese today because she accidentally bought a second box of it when she already had some at home. I accepted it but I've never eaten it. I know it's a processed cheese, obviously, but what are some things I can eat with this Velveeta?

If you melt it and then mix it with chili (with no beans) it makes a really good chip dip.

Queso is the best idea.
Mix the cheese with three to four ounces of milk and a can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies. Melt it in a decent size pot over medium-medium high heat. Buy some tortilla chips. And if you want meat, some ground beef, minced garlic, onion powder, and cumin sautee'd will taste awesome. Light with the cumin, it's a strong spice.
Stir constantly, if you let it burn on the bottom it can make the entire pot taste like burnt. Once the queso is melted and you aren't stirring up chunks of cheese lower the heat.
If you make ground meat, cook it first and strain out the oil, then mix it back in with the queso once it's melted down.

Make some pasta and squeeze the cheese in! Its delicious. As the person below me said, it makes a delicious broccoli and cheese. Enjoy!

It makes pretty tasty broccoli and cheese. Just cook the broccoli as normal and cut a bit of the cheese into the pot after so that it warms and melts over the veggie.
It also makes delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. Make a grilled cheese as you usually do with the melted butter in a pan and frying the bread on it. Slide some Velveeta in between the slices and voila!
It's great if you mix some of your favorite salsa with it and heat it up for a good dip for plain chips. I suppose you could just heat this up in the microwave for something quick and easy.
Think of what you'd normally use melted cheeses in and just try it out. Instead of a slice of American cheese try a thinly sliced piece of Velveeta on things like hamburgers. There are other dishes like cheese soup, cheesy potatoes and variations (ie: potatoes au gratin), various casseroles, lasagna, potato soup, baked potatoes, grits and cheese, bean dips, various Mexican inspired dishes and foods like enchiladas and quesadillas, and even various chili recipes that you can incorporate Velveeta cheese into pretty easily.
