Southern-style mac and cheese is a dish that black folks have passed down for generations in the southern states of the United States. It is typically made with evaporated milk, sharp cheddar cheese, elbow macaroni noodles, and a few other key ingredients. The dish is then baked to perfection, resulting in a delicious, creamy meal. Most other cultures only cook their mac and cheese on the stovetop but baking the mac and cheese is the biggest key difference.
