Macaroni and Cheese, better known as Mac-n-Cheese, is a creamy and rich pasta dish that defines comfort in every bite. Steamed macaroni is cooked in a cheese sauce and topped with bread crumbs and some other cheese. You can also add a variety of ingredients to it such as meat or vegetables. A humble bowl of Mac-N-Cheese never fails to disappoint! Recently, a US-based cheesemaker company named Schreiber Foods Inc. broke the Guinness World Record for producing the world’s largest macaroni and cheese dish.

The super-dish weighed 2,151 kg and set a new world record. The American food company created the dish with the help of its employees in Logan, Utah, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the manufacturing plant. According to the Guinness World Records website, it took them a total of three hours and twenty-six minutes to prepare the dish, which included 928.5 kg of cooked macaroni, 478.53 kg of cheese, 543.85 kg of milk and 72.57 kg of butter.
After making the dish, the company distributed it to more than two thousand people present on the site. In addition, Schreiber Foods collaborated with a local food pantry to donate any remaining food. The event was overseen by Guinness World Records official judge Brittany Dunn. He was also accompanied by an environmental health scientist and regulator in the Utah State Food Industry Department of Agriculture and Food, who oversaw food safety measures.
