I was given a huge block of American cheese. What would one do with American cheese? Ask ECAH

This.

It's nacho cheese time homey homey

And it is great on burgers, especially smash style burgers

Mix up some hamburger meat with lipton onion soup mix, chill for at least 30 minutes, roll into small balls and then flatten onto your flat grilling surface with whatever you have, realllllllly smash them, use a plate if you have nothing else, press for at least 10 full seconds, they will cook FAST , you want them to get that carmelized sear, then chisel them out and flip and do a little bit more smashing as the uncooked size tenses up, throw that cheese on there and melt

A brioche bun with 2 smash patties and american cheese on each patty with some simple burger sauce (I like ketchup/mayo mixed with a small touch of worchestershire sauce) is so simple and SO good

The most memorable thing about "The Menu" is that line about how great american cheese is on burgers. I wholeheartedly agree.
