When you are making a dish in which your cheese needs to melt or incorporate into something like sausage balls or cheese straws, for example, buy the blocks and grate it yourself. That way you avoid the powdery substance in bagged pre-shredded cheese that's there to keep it from sticking together.

I have issues with this
If a recipe calls for 8 oz shredded cheese I buy an 8 oz block of cheese & shred it
I have since realized I’m supposed to measure based off of the shredded cheese, not the block, right?

For some reason I can’t figure this out although everyone really likes my homemade Mac & Cheese

Here's a link to a guide that may help you.

Measuring Cheese

All cheeses are equal in our hearts, but when it comes to measuring cheeses accurately it’s all about the type of cheese. Soft cheeses are heavier per cup, while hard cheeses are lighter. Here’s what we recommend:

• Soft or crumbly cheeses (e.g. feta or blue) 1 cup = 6 ounces

• Semi-hard cheeses (e.g. cheddar or Havarti) 1 cup = 4 ounces

• Hard cheeses (e.g. parmesan or asiago) 1 cup = 3 ounces
