What exactly is American cheese? The American cheese that you find on supermarket shelves isn't cheese made in the traditional way. Instead, it's either a blend of cheese and additives, or it's a highly processed mixture of ingredients such as water, milk, milkfat, milk protein, whey, food coloring, flavorings, and emulsifiers.
By making your own American cheese, not only will you know exactly what went into it, but also you can add in flavorings such as black pepper, roasted red peppers... you name it. Here's how to make American cheese.

What a strange thing to want to do. At home, how could you expect to ever replicate the curious blandness so perfected by the makers of factory cheese products. If you start making processed cheese at home, soon you're likely to develop a taste for real cheese.
To paraphrase Douglas Adams: Something that tastes almost, but not quite, entirely unlike cheese.
