With its smooth texture and mild taste, American cheese goes well with apples, pears, and red grapes. It’s used in sauces, dips, and spreads, and is typically the cheese that’s melted or grilled in sandwiches and on hamburgers. It frequently appears in such dishes as macaroni and cheese, and is an ingredient in a great variety of cooked dishes, from salads to casseroles, biscuits, and pies.
American cheese is usually sold in packets of ready-cut single-square slices, but can also be bought in larger blocks. This is the cheese that is often used in prepackaged cheese spreads.
