What is a Classic American Grilled Cheese?
A Classic American Grilled Cheese starts with two slices of Velveeta cheese, two slices of hearty white bread, and two tablespoons of butter. The cheese is placed between the two slices of bread and the sandwich is then grilled on a hot skillet over medium-high heat. The butter helps to create a golden brown and crisp outer crust, while the cheese melts and binds the two slices of bread together. Enjoy with a side of tomato soup for the perfect lunch.
