Cheese Blocks

This recipe has been in my family for years. It was one of my mothers favorites. Very simple to make. They go get with soup, chop suey, and much more. You may be turned off by the thought of velveeta cheese but these are really good.

1 pound velveeta cheese
1/2 pound ( 2 sticks oleo or butter)
1 loaf homemade bread unsliced.
Let both come to room temperature. Beat throughly.
While cheese mixture is beating cut up bread. Remove all crusts except bottom crust of bread. Cut in half lengthwise. Turn on side and cut lengthwise. Cut loaf into 16 pieces.
Spread mixture on all sides except bottom. Place on cookie sheet. Sprinkle with paprika.
Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted and browned.
