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!

“A” favorite she asks for. How can a cheese lovin’ gal such as myself only name one. Nibble some with a glass of wine and some apple slices…..classic grilled cheese with tomato (HINT; use mayo instead of butter – you don’t have to worry about it tearing the bread and the taste YUMMO – I can add calories like no one!), toppings on burgers, chicken, steak….added to salads….right out of the stinkin’ package standing over the kitchen sink while putting away groceries…..and OMG…That cover photo on this blog!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happening soon….. Sorry….Just get a little carried away when it comes to cheese!!!!

My favorite way to use the Deli American would be for “Very Cheesy Pizza Melts”. My children love them. Thanks for the opportunity to win a great appliance.
Robert Eberly says
My favorite use is over scrambled eggs or in a breakfast sandwich.
Ann GG says
We love to put it on our breakfast sandwiches. No breakfast sandwich is complete without it’s cheese! I also like to put it on hot dogs with some jalapenos. Yummy!

Nothing beats a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato partnered with soup for lunch on a chilly day.
Jane says
We love grilled cheese and tomato basil soup.

Alicia J. says
Eat it right out of the package. Yummy!
Trudy L says
While I like to put American cheese on sandwiches and homemade burgers, my husband and sons just like intermittently going to the fridge throughout the evening and pulling out a slice of cheese to snack on all by itself. 🙂
Heidi says
I will be trying several of these cheesy recipes in the next couple of weeks. I love it when the weather cools and soup and sandwich make a perfect fall dinner. My favorite cheesy sandwich has to be a classic Reuben. Hot pastrami with lots of melty cheese, homemade Thousand Island dressing and tangy kraut on rye bread.
Jill says
It’s hard to pick a favorite way to use cheese, but if I had to, I’d say grilled bacon and cheese on homemade bread is hard to beat. Yum!
S.I. says
Cheese sauce for dipping homemade soft pretzels.
