"the cheeses he uses on his burgers are no exception. While Fieri and other chefs prize American cheese for its superb melting quality, the processed cheese product doesn't always carry much flavor and tends to look better than it tastes. Cheddar cheese, on the other hand, does bring a delicious, sharp flavor to cheeseburgers, but it doesn't stay well-melted for long before losing its visual appeal."
"Fieri has been known to take liberties with his cheeseburger recipes, like using shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices to make what he calls "pizza burgers." Although we're not sure if it technically qualifies as a cheeseburger, Fieri has used pimento cheese not on top of the burger patty but actually stuffed into the patty itself, so the chunk of pimento cheese is encased entirely by seasoned ground beef."
Guy Fieri uses a wide range of cheeses and creative treatments to boost flavor and melt on burgers. American cheese melts superbly but often lacks depth, while cheddar delivers sharp flavor but loses its melted appearance quickly. Fieri builds pizza-style burgers with shredded mozzarella and pepperoni, stuffs patties with pimento cheese, and combines Swiss with bacon, chorizo, and onions for an "inside out" burger. He also stuffs black-and-blue burgers with Point Reyes blue and pairs them with pickles, onions, garlic butter, and thick-cut bacon. Fieri advises not pressing stuffed patties while cooking unless making a smash burger.
