![]() What used to be a chore of prepping and cooking over a hot oven to have Baked Mac and Cheese, now can be whipped up in the crockpot. Not only did the Crock-Pot make cooking supper and side dishes easy, but it also was convenient. The slow cooker is still one of the most loved small appliances of all time. This invention changed the way we cooked forever. Many of the foods we enjoy today, came from this horrific time of slavery. As with most Southern or Soul food, it has its roots in African culture. Chef Hemings’s recipe for Baked Mac and Cheese was spread throughout the southern parts of the US. It should be noted that this was during the time of slavery. They brought the recipe back to America where as president, Jefferson had it served at an 1802 state dinner. The dish became a huge hit with everyone, including Jefferson. This gave him the idea of making an oven-baked macaroni pie. It is here where Chef Hemings learned about how the Europeans were cooking dishes with macaroni and cheese. Sweet Tea and Thyme mentions that Thomas Jefferson was said to have taken his chef, who was a black man named James Hemings, to join him in France. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, the exact origins are not known but the earliest known recipe was found in 1769 in Northern Europe. ![]() Some say that it was originally from Northern Europe. But it didn’t necessarily originate there. Mac and Cheese has a long history in the South. Either way, this recipe will soon become a family favorite, and to top it off, it is such an easy recipe to make. Us Southerners will find a way to make you think a dish is healthy when it really isn’t (haha). Lesson learned? If it's not broke, don't try to fix it? haha!!

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. ![]() We all have our moments of wanting to add a little more of something here and there. I'm curious how they ended up tasting for you. I probably would've started with just 1/4 teaspoon of the garlic powder, though. Thought? I'm debating on blotting with a paper towel to try to get some off now, lol Reply:December 15th, 2012 at 8:19 AMhaha! Well, I might be too late with my response, but I don't think you need to worry too much. I randomly decided to throw in a half teaspoon of garlic powder as thought it would go well and give them a little extra flavor but now I'm worried I ruined them or it won't go well with the cornflake crumbs or something. I've made these twice and both times were a hit! I was getting the chciken ready to go to put them together for a Christmas party tomorrow, right now only thing that is mixed is the chciken and shredded cheese.
