National Mac And Cheese Day History

National Mac and Cheese Day encourages the consumption of the cheesy dish. Macaroni and cheese is one of the most popular foods in America. The most commonly used cheese to make this recipe is cheddar. During the Great Depression in America, Mac and Cheese became popular as it was inexpensive and sold for about 19 cents. The food company Kraft was popular for its boxed macaroni and cheese at this time. They sold 8 million boxes of macaroni and cheese in 1937.

National Mac and Cheese Day seems to have been started in 2016 as a promotion for the cheesy dish. It is observed annually on July 14th.
