I’m genuinely confused about what American cheese is. I live in Canada and when I see it in an American recipe, I’m wondering what would be my best option to substitute with? I thought it was processed cheese, so then I’d go with either these Kraft Singles cheese slices or Velveeta cheese. However last year when I visited USA, in addition to seeing American cheese as processed cheese products, I kept seeing white and orange American cheese in hard bricks as well? I ran out of time and didn’t have a chance to buy a whole bunch of American cheese and do a tasting. So I’m genuinely confused. Thoughts? Please help me unravel this mystery for me.
