Pre-shredded cheese is expensive so I have come up with a cheaper way to have this convenience.
When I buy a block of cheese, I go ahead and grate the whole thing. I then put the cheese in a gallon freezer zip lock bag with a rounded tablespoon of cornstarch.
Then shake the bag so that it lightly coats cheese. This keeps it from sticking together when you store it in the freezer. I keep mine in the freezer so that it will keep longer.
It does not take long to thaw because it is in small shavings!
I use it in salads, chili, tacos, etc.
This is my all-time favorite tip!
