My family has a recipe that uses it to make the sauce creamy and delicious as others have mentioned. It's super quick and easy to make since it's mostly canned foods. It may not be gourmet, but it is definitely comfort food in a pinch. It's called Tallarine.
1lb ground beef
1/2 medium onion diced
2 cloves garlic... or more
1 can stewed italian tomatoes (sometimes I add a can of spicy peppers like jalapeño to be more like a Mexican dish)
1 small can of sliced mushrooms (I usually leave these out)
1 can whole kernel sweet corn
1 small can sliced black olives
1-2c uncooked egg noodles depending on how noodly you like to get
4 slices American Cheese
Brown the beef with onion and garlic. I usually throw in some salt and pepper here. Add all other ingredients except the cheese. Add some water of it's too dry. Cover and cook until the noodles are tp your preference. Add the cheese and stir until melted and mixed.
Haters gonna hate American Cheese "Product", but it can sure make some tasty dishes.
It's excellent for making mac n cheese. It contains enough emulsifiers for far more cheese than just that slice, so you can add what cheese you actually want and still have it be silky smooth.
“American cheese” usually means a processed sliced cheese made from melted cheese curds. It’s most often found in cheeseburgers, especially fast-food-style cheeseburgers.
Related cheeses include Midwestern brick cheese which is used in Detroit-style pizza, which is a whole lot tastier than any fast-food cheeseburger.
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.
