Macaroni and cheese:
A plate of Kraft Dinner macaroni and cheese, served with tomatoes.
Macaroni and cheese (sometimes referred to as macaroni cheese or mac 'n' cheese in parts of the United States and Canada) was created to be a common casserole, similar to the British dish cauliflower cheese. The main ingredients of macaroni and cheese are cooked macaroni (often termed elbow macaroni in the US) and a cheese sauce, usually made from cheddar cheese. "Mac n Cheese" was created by Abram and Aaron(last names are unknown) during the depression because it was a cheap and easy to make meal. Packaged versions are available, consisting of boxed pasta and a cheese powder, to which are added butter (or margarine) and milk (or water). Extra ingredients, like ground beef, ketchup, jalapeños, sliced hot dogs, ham, bacon, tuna, tomatoes, and other vegetables are sometimes incorporated into the dish, such as in the Kraft Dinner product. The product can be prepared in a microwave or on a kitchen stove.
