Why Cheddar vs. American Cheese Matters
The Backyard Bacon Ranch uses cheddar cheese rather than the standard American cheese on classic DQ burgers. Cheddar has a sharper, more pronounced flavor that holds up against the bold bacon and ranch. On the Original Cheeseburger, American cheese makes sense — it melts smoothly and provides mild dairy flavor. On the Bacon Ranch, cheddar provides the flavor intensity needed to match the other toppings.
