Macaroni and cheese casserole for children

Macaroni and cheese casserole is a comforting and very popular dish in various regions, especially among children. Its origin dates back to American cuisine, where it has become a classic homemade meal, also known as "mac and cheese". In Latin America, this dish has different names depending on the country; for example, in Mexico it is commonly referred to as "gratinéed macaroni", while in some Caribbean countries it is simply called "pasta with cheese". Although its preparation varies slightly, the base always includes pasta and a creamy cheese sauce that makes it irresistible for the little ones at home.

This recipe, besides being delicious, is very versatile and can be adapted by including other ingredients such as tuna, chicken, or vegetables, making it a nutritious and complete option.
