When Did Baked Mac & Cheese Become a Soul Food Staple?

[Black Panther]

Don't get me wrong, this ain't bashing Mac n cheese. Sh*t is

But it seems like it became a tradition at some point; I don't remember eating it as a kid. Now it's a staple alongside greens, cornbread, and candied yams.

Baked Macoroni and cheese has always been in my life (under 30), but this new shyt where mf's (Cacs) are making it in a sauce pan and mixing it together is for the birds. Plus they eat mac and cheese for an entree.
