I’ve really only put it on some burgers, but would like to see what others like it with :D

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    A hot dog. Let the cheese warm to room temp, then toast the bun. Once your Weiner and Buns are both ready put the cheese inside the bun under the dog and it should melt nicely. Add whatever your hot dog toppings of choice are.

    Also literally any kind of sandwich that cheese is good on is another safe bet. Also grilled cheese.

      You just gonna gloss over the whistle dog? C’mon now.

      Take two fingers of cheese and nestle a fried or boiled weiner betwixt. Wrap that thoroughly in long strips of lightly cooked peppered bacon, and poke some toothpicks through to hold it all together. Broil in the oven until the cheese starts to get melty. Bonus points if you get some sear on the bacon before all the cheese escapes. Put that on a toasted bun with garlic butter. Remember to remove the toothpicks. Serve with salsa fries or poutine.
