What is Low-class cheese you ask? It is cheese that you would not serve on a fancy cheese board with a vintage wine(The fancy stuff being Brie, Gorganzola, Asiago ect...). Personally I love the lower-class cheeses. Not to knock fancy cheese, but sometimes you just need a fix of the artificially orange "cheese product"!
Cheez Wiz. Yes the beautiful gooey cheese in a jar. It is essential to the Philly cheese-steak for some people. A recipe published by Pat's King of Steaks says, with regard to cheese, "We recommend Cheez Whiz; American or Provolone works fine."The proprietor of Geno's, however, considers provolone or American cheese more authentic, but Pat's introduction of Cheese Whiz allowed it to quickly become a "topping of choice.
It is also a great topping to french fries.
Easy Cheese. Processed Cheese product distributed by Kraft Foods, also referred to aerosol cheese (no aerosol is used though) or spray cheese. It comes packaged in a spray can, much like canned whipped cream. One of my favorite "heart attach snacks" is taking easy cheese and spraying it inside a "Bugle" snacks, so that it forms a cheesy ice-cream cone looking thing.
Velveeta. Another processed cheese product. A great thing to do with Velveeta is melt it in the microwave with salsa and a slash of milk and you have a warm and cheese dip for nachos in just a minute. mmmmmm Velveeta also can be used in fudge. Yes Fudge. I would never have believed it, but it does exist and tastes good!
Nacho Cheese (from a can). I don't think I could go to a hockey game with out ordering stadium nachos with extra cheese. Oh that glorious melted, spicy cheese from a can. Besides nachos, it is also a tasty addition to fries, chili, baked potatoes, hotdogs and corn bread.
American Cheese. The most famous of the processed cheese. How can anyone not like this cheese. It is the corner stone of America (hence the name!) Everyone loves a grilled cheese sandwich, and the most used cheese for that sandwich is American Cheese. I think it should be unpatriotic to hate American Cheese.
