One of a kind of pasta with sausages, ham, milk, and cheese.
Easy to cook and delicious Grilled Macaroni and Cheese.

In Italy, macaroni is a type of pasta that is used as a source of carbohydrates which has the same function as rice in Indonesia. Grilled Macaroni and Cheese appeared because of a Dutch who settled in Indonesia in the mid-19th century. In Netherlands, it's also known as Macaroni Schotel. Schotel can be interpreted as a container used to bake macaroni. The Dutch like to cook this dish because it is not difficult and can provide the nutrients needed by the body (the contents of the macaroni schotel contain milk, cheese, ham, meat, and other nutrients. But in European countries, Grilled Macaroni and Cheese is used as the main dish, they call it Macaroni Casserole. The Dutch introduced food to Indonesians. However, because the ingredients for making grilled macaroni were expensive at that time and they were not used to eating wheat, only the elite class could make Grilled Macaroni and Cheese. But for now, almost anyone can make grilled macaroni. Usually, grilled macaroni is served when there are certain events, for example during Indonesian independence day and other holidays. The contents of Grilled Macaroni and Cheese can be sausage, ham, cheese, milk, meat, etc. This food can be enjoyed by all ages, as a main dish or an afternoon snack.
