Growing up I learned to love some simple foods my parents made.

I can't think of anything except American cheese on grilled cheese.

I know there are better options, but the cheapness of American plus its acceptability in this sandwich makes it a clear choice for me.

I consider myself a cheese snob, but a cheeseburger needs to be made with processed cheese like Kraft Singles. The texture and flavor is perfect for that.

I also take my chili cooking very seriously and I have even won several major cookoffs. But chili dogs need to be made with cheap canned crap like Hormel or Wolf. Good chili doesn't work there.

I am guilty of that too. Grew up eating american cheese in my grilled cheeses. Did you use butter or margarine there? I always have used real butter.

Wolf is great for chili dogs! Do you ever mash the beans to create a thicker sauce?

I used mayo on the one on the left (first time I tried it, didn't like it; it had a weird, sour aftertaste), and butter on the one on the right.

I never use margarine for anything.

Some fine-looking sandwiches there my man.

Do you spread the butter on the bread or put it in the pan?

I am a little heavy handed on the butter. I spread it on the bread but end up spinning it in the pan as to ensure even distribution and browning.

You wound me. I don't go to half the trouble that fat fuck did. I just pay attention to what I'm cooking.

>>9337858
I'll have to try it that way.

I'm usually lazy and just rub the stick of butter on the pan.

>>9339547
I've done it that way too. Better coverage with spreading it first.

Tin of pic related dumped on some cooked pasta and then covered in grated chedder and baked in an oven for 20 mins.

It's absolutely garbage food but I used to make it a lot when I was a teen and didn't know how to cook and it's nostalgic to me.

>>9337745
I still make garlic bread this way and doubt I'll ever stop.

I went to this place in NYC supposedly know for their grilled cheeses and got this one with muenster and a side of tomato soup and all that... And I preferred my shitty American cheese crap. Thanks Mom.

I'll never understand why people freak out over using american cheese.
It's very tasty, has a fantastically low melting point which gets you that delightful gooey texture you're chasing without overcooking anything else, and is actually more calcium rich than actual cheeses.

Also I honestly cant think of anything my mom used to make that I like that way. She's a pretty shit cook.
