Macaroni & Cheese
An American family favourite, this simple dish has a history in the United States when at 1802, the 3rd President Thomas Jefferson first served it in the White House. The usual recipe uses white sauce but in here Cream of Mushroom soup base is used. It is a simple quick fix taught to me during my internship.
