Making REAL American Cheese at Home (plus ultra-melty Swiss cheese experiment)

There is no better cheese for melting in a sandwich or on a burger than good 'ol American cheese. But the plastic-like slices of individually wrapped stuff from the store certainly leaves something to be desired. So today we're making some deluxe, ultra-creamy, ultra-melty American cheese from scratch using mostly ingredients you probably already have. And as a bonus, we'll see how the same process works to make some gooey Swiss cheese for the ultimate onion-Swiss burger.
