american cheese from the deli is a very different animal than the kraft singles in the plastic sleeves.

its basically just unaged cheddar.

That’s fair. It’s hard to get worse than Kraft singles.

BUT! To compare it to cheddar goes too far. Cheddar is better and I will die on this hill

So, I am a firm believer that american cheese MUST be in a grilled cheese sandwich. If you typically use other cheeses, absolutely still do so, but the next time you make a grilled cheese with cheddar try two slices of cheddar with ONE slice of american in between them. It melts beautifully and adds a creamier texture that cheddar simply cannot give. It will add something special in the middle. I seriously can't recommend this strongly enough, it could change your life >.>
