White American.

I do like provolone on a non-traditional chicken cheesesteak though.

Hear me out on this... it's melty, contains peppers, and is ready-to-use.



Try it just once and you'll see what I'm talking about.

White American is the standard at Philly Connection but for the chicken cheese steak, probably half the customers would substitute provolone.

Pepperjack, melts well and doesn't taste processed!

It's a little extra work but I make a cheese sauce.

Melt half a stick of butter, stir in four tbs of flour and cook it a bit, then stir in some milk until it gets smooth. Then melt in a bunch of sharp cheddar until the taste is right.

Spoon it right onto the sandwiches.

Bought some of that cheese dip today after seeing your post BigDropper.

Thanks for the recommendation. Very good. Might spike it with some extra jalapeño later on.

That brand has some good stuff. Assumed it would be made from oaxaca cheese but it's white American.
