Has anyone tried it with all Velveeta cheese and no sharp cheddar? If so, how was it?

OMG! I sure this is really good BUT...It takes 2or 3 hours.Somebody has got to come up with a quicker version. I have other tings to do.

I think it would be the same cooking time - each time I double a recipe the same cooking time works fine. Keep the cook setting on LOW so you won't break the cheese.

If i double this recipe, do i also need to double the cooking time? or would it be better to turn the crock up to high for 3 hours? or should i just leave it alone? If someone could let me know, i'd really appreciate it! Thanks!
