Fake cheese for fake times. Or alternative cheese if you will. Schwag nasty ass shit...but I will eat it, of course, if it's already there such as in most dishes at my white trash family gatherings. But it's not really cheese. I certainly don't buy it as part of my staples at home and don't order it on my cheeseburger if there are other choices.
I didn't eat American cheese for something like 20 years, but have had it on burgers in the last year and I like it all right. I say "underrated", and poised for a comeback.
Under the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, American cheese is a type of pasteurised processed cheese.
Depending on the percentage of cheese versus additives, the taste and texture of American cheese may vary. Also, the colour may change from orange, yellow to white as decided by the food manufacturer.
wait wait wait. My understanding has been Kraft singles- cheesefood or cheese product on label. 17 ingredients, gelatin. Gross. Real american cheese is underrated Orange or white (prefer white) as long as not "cheese product". I think the processed part just means it has been pasteurized. So real american might be harder to find but Cooper, Boars Head, dietz n watson, etc. make good ones. As others mentioned it is good for grilled cheese and burgers for melting qualities. The meltiness is from cream i think. Its just a bland melty cheese to me.
for me when i want grilled cheese or burger or feeling nostalgic-
they serve a swiss cheese turkey burger on a whole wheat bun at the local joint... great for when I'm 'in training', but when I feel like going all in on some serious fat (aka flavor), the double [american] cheese burger (called the dolly parton lol) with fries and O rings is about as good as it gets.
At the local small boutique grocery store I shop at for veggies/meat/etc, they hire a lot of local suburban high school kids, these 2 kids were stocking the cheese shelves & laughing at the cardboard box that said in big print nothing but "WHITE AMERICAN"
I was out & about today & had a famous Ted's Steamed Cheeseburger for lunch, 1st time in like 20 years, the cheese was the weakest part, probably American . . . we'll see if I remember in the next 20 years to "hold the cheeze"

The federal government and cheese.com disagree.
