That cheese looks suspiciously like cheddar though 🤨

I Gotta say ..... you insult your own burgers. A mac should not even be allowed within a mile of those you are making there. Cast-Iron is the way. Only a charcoal grill smoking heavily from the fat dripping from the burger on the hot coals could be an improvement of what you are doing there.

You caught me.

I couldn’t find proper american cheese slices and kraft singles weren’t going to cut it.

I approve of your choice.

I reject Kraft singles as good American cheese just as much as I reject the notion of American cheese being "fake" or "plastic" by default.

Cast iron is the only way to get a nice thin seared patty like I was looking for.

What? Kraft singles are the proper American cheese.

No they’re not.

They’re great for a grilled cheese but they have the wrong texture for proper American cheese.

Those look like breakfast McMuffins at first glance, and I now I want some. Thanks.

Kraft Singles are literally American Cheese

Processed American cheese was invented in the 1910s by James L. Kraft, the founder of Kraft Foods Inc., who obtained a patent for his manufacturing process in 1916.

The thumbnail for American Cheese is even a Kraft single

It’s a crap cheese but it’s the perfect burger cheese

For real. I love me some actual cheddar; but fresh not melted. When it melts, it takes on a slightly more bitter taste. That doesn't happen with singles.

Yeah sure but really no.

The real quest is... Whats in those two jars in the background?

We're not talking about good, we're talking American.

Kraft makes and invented American cheese slices but they look like this:

If you look closely you will note that singles say “cheese product” where this says “American cheese” in the fine print.

Imma guess they're satansmaggotycumfarts.....

Task failed, sorry. These look way too good for maccas

Unless you got some boujee mcd's nearby, that's way too much cheese to be an imitation.

Use the aggressively melting cheeseproduct. Let the heresy flow through you.

Too much cheese. Too much meat. Too good to be imitation McD's. Glory to you and your failure.

Apple pie filling.

These look far better than what McDonald’s sells

aka a future post! YEAH!

Agreed. Each burger patty should be 1/10th of a pound, although the condiment placement is on par.

McDonald’s is ten patties to a pound and these are eight so it’s an extra 2/5 of an ounce in each.

Good eye.

Nah. Regs (cheeseburgers) get one slice. Quarters get two -- fanned placement, please. Cheese volume looked fine.

But the slices at about 40% too large

I was taken back by the sparse condiments but I knew in my heart that it was the right amount.

Melt your cheese slices either way

these look far too good to be from maccas

Looks delish. Hope it was great!

My only suggestion is to maybe steam the cheese so it melts around the patty. I only learned this technique recently and love the results.
