Or just don't buy American cheese because it's gross and fake.
American cheese is the best cheese for a cheeseburger because it melts without splitting.
I always go for sharp cheddar instead which I feel is close if not better... or Bleu cheese, although that definitely is crumbly.
Just like the cheeseburger your mother could barely afford.
I still think its odd that people call that american cheese. Like, do people in the USA really want their name attached to that stuff?
Forreal haha. I just call them Kraft Singles bc I refuse to acknowledge it as cheese.
I just call it processed cheese.
I have come full circle. I loved processed American cheese food (pacf) when I was a kid because I was a kid. Then I got into fancy sliced cheeses like cheddar and Gouda. But they don't melt as nicely! So now back to pacf for burgers and melts because it is the best ingredient for that job.
It’s delicious and who cares if something is real or not?
Its also cheap, tho.
Here's the weird thing about that:
Sargento Colby Jack at Walmart, 34.7 cents/ounce
Kraft Singles at 31.1 cents/ounce
That's an egregious example because you can find better sliced cheese (store brand) for much cheaper than Sargento even, but still disturbing to see how expensive those singles really are.
Worth every cent
