How to Make American Cheese

processed cheese

🥗Healthier: natural cheese

💰Cheaper: store-brand cheese

Natural cheese is less processed and has fewer additives.

Grate 1.7 pounds of cheese and place it in a large bowl.

Measure out 1 ounce of sodium citrate and 1 gram of sorbic acid.

Add 1 cup of water to a saucepan and warm it up.

Stir in the sodium citrate until completely dissolved.

Add the sorbic acid and dissolve it as well.

Turn the heat to low and start adding the grated cheese, stirring continuously until smooth.

Add about 2 ounces of crumbled bacon to the mixture and stir until combined.

Pour the mixture into molds and refrigerate until set.
