    American cheese is really just cheddar with a higher fat content and gelatin added. Brits always bash it but we love it and you'll never beat it for texture in mac and cheese or on burgers, period. You can get a similar color by adding mustard powder and a bit of turmeric.

    • @alexsampsonite2176

    A lot of american cheddar approaches the color of your red leicester cheese, that's what I usually use. American processed cheese is popular, but so is velveeta, a processed cheese brick with a more gelatin-like consistency vs american cheese.

    I really like this recipe. Only thing that makes me nervous is heating it after the cheese is added. I've learned from an unfortunate experience that if you're not careful it can make your sauce grainy, though that might be more of a problem with a burner where the heat is concentrated rather than a flat top.

    Glorious. Though I just don’t understand the current obsession with ‘cheese pull’. On a pizza, of course. But macaroni cheese is about glorious sauce and pasta, and the lovely gratinated top for crunchy texture is great too. But I just don’t get the need for cheese pull, especially when the mozzarella adds no flavour in amongst all the other stronger cheeses. I blame TikTok…
