Disclosure: This round-up is sponsored by Land O’Lakes, Inc., but all thoughts remain, as always, my own.
When the weather turns cold, my thoughts turn to comfort food. In my book, comfort food almost always comes under a generous amount of something cheesy and melted. It’s hard to feel anything other than happy and satisfied when there are loads of melted, gooey cheese dripping down whatever you’re eating, and it’s hard to find something that melts better and more smoothly than Land O Lakes® Deli American. I want to share 10 Easy Cheesy Recipes with you today. Some are here from Foodie with Family, some come from my blogger buddies, and all of them are certain to fill that melty need! And bonus time! My friends at Land O’Lakes have generously offered to give away a Deli American gift package to help make melty dreams come true. Scroll to the bottom of the round-up for the giveaway details.
Trashy Barbecue Pulled Pork & Toasted Cheese Sandwich
Sourdough sandwich bread piled high with barbecue pulled pork, melty cheese, and toasted to brown, buttery perfection. Good for you? Not by a long shot, but great for your soul!
Cheesy Barbecue Chicken and Bacon Egg Rolls
The crispy, crunchy eggroll wrapper surrounds a melty, cheesy, bacon studded, barbecue chicken filling that will keep you coming back for more! Serve with extra barbecue sauce for a delicious departure from the average eggroll.
Chorizo Beef Burgers with Crispy Onion Straws
This amazing burger from Nutmeg Nanny is the perfect big mouth burger. Topped with bbq fry sauce, candied jalapeños and Deli American, it is sure to make your day a little brighter.
Spinach Omelet Grilled Cheese Sandwich
Toasted multi-grain bread filled with perfectly oozing melted Deli American surrounding a tender, text-book omelet that was wrapped around garlicky spinach, chopped ham, and even more molten, liquid, cheesy goodness.
The Ultimate Queso Blanco Dip
Melted Deli American and Monterey Jack cheeses, chopped green chiles, and garlic is the ultimate queso blanco dip. Dunk tortillas, pretzels, or spread on tacos, burritos, or your face!
Bacon Cheeseburger Dip
This ‘deconstructed bacon cheeseburger’ – ground beef mixed with all of your favorite burger fixings: melted cheese, ketchup, relish, mustard – with sautéed onions and A-1® Sauce and a sprinkle of crispy bacon from A Family Feast will have you dipping over and over.
Filthy Burgers
This blissfully meaty, perfectly grilled, juicy, beef burger is studded with barbecue pulled pork and crispy bits of bacon, topped with melted pepper jack cheese or Deli American, tangy barbecue sauce, and tender lettuce on a toasted bun. It’s sure to make you a grilling superstar!
Chicken Bacon Spinach Grilled Cheese
This gorgeous sandwich from Nutmeg Nanny is obviously packed with cheesy goodness, but it’s also packed with freshly cooked chicken breast, super crunchy bacon, sweet baby spinach and a delicious garlic mayonnaise. This is the type of sandwich, as she says, that you go out of your way to have.
Easy Cheesesteak Sandwiches
Browned, thinly sliced steak with loads of pan-fried peppers, onions, and mushrooms stuffed in a bun and smothered with Deli American. When Aggie’s Kitchen does an Easy Cheesesteak Sandwich, she does it right!
Cranberry N Cheese Grill
This grilled cheese with zesty cranberry sauce and turkey is directly from
Land O’Lakes Test Kitchen. I can so see this happening after Thanksgiving!

My favorite way to use Deli American cheese is a grilled cheese sandwich with green chillies! Best ever on a cold, rainy day.

You really know your cheese, Rebecca 🙂 I would love to have that collection, the bread machine would get tons of use, and I make a killer Philly Cheese Steak Panini, just sayin’

I love to eat sliced cheese all by itself while I’m preparing other things. If I’m cooking with it, you just can’t beat a yummy, melty grilled cheese sandwich. And I need to try that queso dip!

Wow, these all look great! My favorite is a cheese sandwich for my work lunch!

Our family favorite is a turkey, cheese, pesto, and tomato panini.

ALWAYS use white American for my queso….it is the best! Also when I buy white American I have to hide from my husband or he will eat it all just plain within a day or two!
Kristy Douglas says
I do believe that my favorite Land O’lakes cheese sandwich is thinly sliced deli roast beef that has been warmed in au ju then I layer on american cheese, put the lid on on let it melt (burner off) then I pile it on toasted garlic bread rolls(crusty rolls spread w/garlic butter and broiled) and top with caramelized onions and sometimes horseradish sauce. That’s it and it is yummy!!
Lisa Bravo says

Oh my goodness – lots of grilled cheese filled with the yummy pickled red onions I have canned! YUM!
Cheryl Schuh says
Good old fashioned grilled cheese is hard to beat, but combine it with a little turnkey, thin slice of apple and some cranberry sauce and you have hit cheese heaven.
Rachel Stephenson says
My favorite use for deli American cheese would be in pigs in a blanket. I have a 6 year old and 2 year old twins that absolutely love them. A very close second is grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.
Robby says
There are at least 3 recipes here demanding to be tried immediately. But let’s be honest, a good old grilled cheese sandwich is the comfort food that can’t be beat, and a real test of American cheese.
