What's the Best Cheese for Cheeseburgers?

Four year-old Shelburne Farms (Vermont) Cheddar. Cabot is good, but Shelburne Farms is truly amazing. That, some freshly ground pepper and a touch of sea salt (I occasionally use smoked sea salt, yum).

The closest thing to an In-N-Out Burger is at the new Great American Hamburger and Hot Dog Company in Great Barrington, MA. I think that it comes wrapped in wax paper is key.

I love soft blue cheese on burgers, but I've recently had really great mozzarella-topped burgers.

For me it's a toss-up between "American" and pepper jack, depending on the style of the rest of the burger.

um, isn't is "bleu" cheese? lol

I don't like that stuff on burgers. Too much going on. And meltability isn't really important to me either. Almost any cheese is going to melt if you put it on a hot burger. Most of the time, I just like the burger itself for flavor, plus a few toppings, no cheese.

I usually use cheddar, but I love swiss. Especially if you are doing a mushroom avocado burger. Jack is nice too with jalapeƱos, etc. OK now I'm hungry, too.

Beef and sharp-tasting cheeses is all sorts of wrong to my tastebuds. The beef and the bun get in the way of the delicious cheese flavor, and the cheese flavor steamrolls the beef. I also hate blue cheese on steak or roast beef sandwiches - same deal. And warm cheddar cheese makes my gorge rise. So, I'm with the American cheese people. It's got the mouthfeel, and it doesn't kill the taste of the burger.

Crumbled feta, sprinkled on after the burger is cooked as part of assembly. Fresh tomato and a small piece of lettuce.
