Best cheese for a burger
Cheddar is the burger cheese. American cheese is the one that melts across the patty in a thin sheet.
Drape over the patty
The cheese should soften on a hot patty. A slice of pressed cow's milk or a processed slice does that. A cheese that holds its shape will sit on top as a slab.
A little blue is enough
A blue that melts can go on a burger. Use less than you would of cheddar. The taste is stronger.
