Notes
American cheese can be purchased in the deli at your grocery store or you can substitute with cheddar cheese. American cheese is what they use on Big Mac's at McDonald's, but cheddar cheese is delicious as well.
If you like more sauce, feel free to double the sauce recipe. You can also make these on the stove top.
