There's no bad time for comfort food, and it's hard to think of any meal (or snack!) that's as quick and satisfying as a crunchy, gooey grilled cheese sandwich.
The good news is that you can use any cheese you like for your grilled cheese. If it's your favorite, give it a go!

Well, then it is no longer a grilled cheese sammich, now itn’t it?
Like so many things for this 69-year-old veteran, I liked the cheese sandwiches we used to make in the 60’s when everything was real, and not processed something or other. Nothing, and I mean, NOTHING, tastes like it did back then. They used real ingredients, and they weren’t all soaked with chemical supplements.

So, how long have you been a raciss?
Good old government cheese - was legit “American Cheese!
My parents and grandmother’s main cheese in the 1950’s to 1960’s was the plain old American cheese you cited.
They made grilled cheese sandwiches with local bread and butter on the bread, grilled in a frying pan.
My wife grew up in the midwest, and her parents and grandmother made similar grilled cheese sandwiches to kill for.
They bought potato chips in the 5 gallon can and got home delivery.
A pan grilled American cheese sandwich with grilled buttered bread and the chips made a full meal or a really good snack.
In the winter time, they and my family heated some tomato or mushroom soup for an incredible lunch or dinner.
A local diner on Friday’s, for students only. had a grilled cheese 1/2 sandwich, a cup of soup, your choice of tomato or mushroom and chips for a $, and that included a dime tip for the waitresses.
Finally, the high school cafeteria offered the same thing for 50 cents with free refills. On rainy or snowy days, we stayed and had that special.
Charles’ chips?
Forgot about them!
I like to put oil in the pan to make a super crispy bread around smooth melted cheese. I use coconut oil.
I like ham too, but then I need a slice of bread and butter pickle. And a bit of Mayo.
Years ago back in the early 80’s, I took meat products to a cold storage facility and there was a California trucker called Ocean Motion. He said he took cheese product from California to Nebraska and Nebraska cheese back to California. Never understood why, just attributed it to gubmint efficiencies.
Got to read more thoroughly later.
Try Cotswold melted with bacon on multi grain bread. It’s a very hearty sammich, and especially great with tomato basil soup.
Definitely use butter! No Mayo or oil for me!
Charles’ chips?
I believe so.
Colby makes the Grilled Cheese Next Best is Cojack. American should not be labeled as Cheese.
*** Charles’ chips?***
The chips from my childhood!! So good!
That’s not ‘Murkin, that’s Canadian...
That’s bordering on a Cheese Steak!
“round thing you held over the gas burner.”
Sounds like Swiss Raclette. Yum!
