Macaroni and cheese is a classic American favorite featuring American cheddar cheese. Macaroni and cheese, sometime refereed to as “mac and cheese” or “macaroni pie” is most strongly associated with with American cuisine in particular in the south as a southern living comfort food.

Thomas Jefferson discovered macaroni in Paris and Italy and imported a machine to make it and according to some source make a machine to produce macaroni. In 1802 he served a “macaroni pie” at a state dinner. Later in 1942 a dish called “macaroni and cheese” appeared in the 1824 cookbook, “The Virginia Housewife”.

Kraft Dinner or “KD” was created in 1937 and is incredibly popular in Canada where it is the #1 best selling packaged food product in grocery stores there.

However, boxed macaroni and cheese cannot compare to the taste of home made versions. There are many gourmet versions and variations that can be prepared by home chefs and it is well worth the minimal amount of effort to make your own.

An easy yet delicious recipe. I followed the recipe, and used whatever I had on hand. Then just mixed them up, and baked in the oven until the cheese was nicely browned. I let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes, then served it. Overall a great dish.

One of the best homemade mac n' cheese I've ever had. The flavor of the sauce was excellent. Instead of provolone I use asiago cheese. The bits of feta and spinach made for nice variety. Bread crumb topping added another layer of crunchy texture.

Better than Macaroni and Cheese
Better than Macaroni & Cheese

Much better than classic Macaroni and Cheese. This version still has lots of cheesy flavor but is baked with juicy tomatoes and lots of mushrooms. Serve with a simple salad and make with whole wheat macaroni for a serious boost to the health value that's packed with flavor. A great family casserole.

Thank you Martha Stewart! She says it's important to use pungent cheeses. Sharp white cheddar produces the smoothest result; yellow and extra sharp cheddars can become grainy. MAKE SURE to pay attention to the steps so your cheese doesn't curdle.
