When did Mac & Cheese become part of Thanksgiving?

But I want some effort. Not just some easy make blue box garbage.

I'm bringing mac and cheese this year but def not the blue box. Doing a bacon mac and cheese with a sauce from scratch, then finishing it in the smoker.

nice! never thought of finishing in my smoker

I make a mean mac and cheese, but this will be my first time smoking it. I have seen a few recipes and a few people talk about so thought I'd give it a go. Last year one of the cheeses in my sauce was a smoked gouda...so makes sense

There are many who would be very Thankful to be able to serve their family Kraft Mac and Cheese Thursday.

I sure hope we are talking the Deluxe box.

I ate many a box of the cheap stuff in college.

We didn't have it when I was a kid, but my sister in law started bringing it to holiday meals a million years ago. It's one of my son's favorites, so now I make it. My SIL didn't do a topping, but I do.

Baked Mac, ever since I can remember.

I love chicken and dumplings, but never had that at Thanksgiving either.

It never did become a part of Thanksgiving. In addition I have never eaten or been served Mac & Cheese. I always though it was a ghetto dish like ramen noodles from the cheap packs.

A lot of Mac & cheeses use several kinds of cheese and good cheese is expensive

We never had it because my grandma doesn’t like it. But I brought some last year and she said it was good

Little kids dont prefer delicious baked mac and cheese. They prefer the creamy fake cheese over shells.
