Yup. Some brands may mix other cheeses in for taste, but it’s basically just those two cheeses and an emulsifier. A little bit of butter may help them melt more smoothly too, but it depends on how dry the cheddar is to begin with. Younger cheddars will melt easier, and may not need butter at all.

So its just a dried cheese sauce?

It also has the benefit of making other cheeses melt together, that emulsifier makes complex grilled cheese sandwiches easier to make

I mean, isn’t all cheese just dried cheese sauce?

No, most cheese is just clumped milk solids. Also, American cheese isn’t dried cheese sauce, it’s cooled off cheese sauce.

The power of suggestion and branding cuts both ways

Make sure to get actual american cheese from the deli, don’t buy kraft singles or some fake “cheese product”
