Best Answer

No one knows who invented Mac and Cheese. Research shows (Jack MacLaughlin's book "Jefferson and Monticello: the biography of a Builder) that Thomas Jefferson was interested in macaroni but he did not invent this American classic. Jefferson enjoyed this dish while in Paris, served it at the White House and and corresponded with a William Short to procure a macaroni machine. The first written Macaroni and Cheese recipe is believed to be from The Experienced English Housekeeper, by a Mrs. Elizabeth Raffald. This 1769 recipe calls for the following ingredients: bechamel sauce with Cheddar, mixed with macaroni, sprinkled with Parmesan, then baked until bubbly and golden.
