I’ve really only put it on some burgers, but would like to see what others like it with :D
My wife just made a bagel, egg, bacon and American cheese sammich, pretty damn tasty

The cafe at NAIT does a respectable BELT plate.
I’d argue this is the perfect form for American cheese. Melts into the egg and bacon. Burgers are good to, but you can swap for pepper jack, etc.
Use it for a grilled cheese sandwich. Or just about any kind of sandwich.
American cheese is great when you want a cheese that melts, but doesn’t become liquid. It’s great for burgers, grilled cheese, Mac and cheese, and dips.
Cooper sharp is the burger cheese.
Mix it into scrambled eggs.
If you have given up on life for the day and just need some Kraft Dinner while you watch your stories, melt a couple slices in.
It’s recommend that you do the eggs a couple times a week and the KD a couple times a quarter.
I recommend putting a slice or multiple slices of American cheese on a hot bowl of Top Ramen, Chicken flavor. Cheesy ramen is pretty good

Wrap a hotdog in a slice of it
White bread, mildly flavored meats, mild soups.
Our “cheese” has a very mild flavor, overall, but melts thoroughly and very quickly, which is mainly what we use it for. This is why you find it on things like grilled cheese and cheeseburgers, but if you see a slice cold it’s a little extra sad, since you’re missing out on the one thing it’s actually good at.
If you do get American cheese, get some from the deli, it’s much better than Kraft.
Kraft’s Deli-style is pretty good, too (comes in a pre-sliced block, like what restaurants use for burgers). Just don’t get the Kraft singles, which aren’t nearly as good in flavor or consistency.
Hamburgers!
Bonus points if it’s white American from the deli. The way it becomes not quite solid, not quite liquid, makes it perfection on a solid smash patty. Don’t forget to toast them buns, hon.
Great, now I’m craving a burger…
I’m pretty sure the only difference between the yellow and white American cheeses is the addition of annatto
Huh, well TIL.
For whatever reason I prefer white American cheese over yellow on a burger.
Assuming this refers to essentially processed cheese like kraft singles.
9/10 times a different cheese will taste much better and texturally if you’re using a good melting point cheese for the use case better there as well.
That said, this style of cheese excels and is really only tolerable in HOT food. It needs to be melted. Its nasty pre-melt and its nasty post-melt. But while melted, it’s good.
A grilled cheese with real and stringy cheeses is great. But sometimes a grilled cheese with 2 kraft singles is what you crave.
Please try putting a slice of American cheese into some shin ramyun or equivalent Korean ramyun. It is amazing. Also works with other types of instant ramen but the umami and spiciness of Korean ramyun makes the cheese flavor extra good.
It goes great with ttoekbokki, too!
Hell yes.
Nobody will agree with me but I’ve been making the plainest salami sandwich for like 20 years and it is one of my favourite things to eat. Two slices of whatever white bread, four slices of hot genoa salami, one kraft single. I actually love to cook and bake and can make almost anything, but I still love this sandwich.
Dry? No butter or mustard?
Yep, dry.
Classic grilled cheese.
There are a lot of ways to cut cheese. Just sayin.
“American cheese” usually means a processed sliced cheese made from melted cheese curds. It’s most often found in cheeseburgers, especially fast-food-style cheeseburgers.
Related cheeses include Midwestern brick cheese which is used in Detroit-style pizza, which is a whole lot tastier than any fast-food cheeseburger.
