1 lb of American cheese is equal to how much shredded?

American cheese is sold by weight, typically in 8-ounce or 16-ounce blocks. There are no standard measurements for shredded cheese, but it is more commonly sold by volume than by weight.

The volume of shredded cheese will depend on several factors, such as how fine or coarse the cheese is shredded, as well as how tightly it is packed.

Typically, 1 pound of American cheese will yield around 4 cups of shredded cheese when loosely packed and up to 6 cups when tightly packed.
