Easy Mac 'N Cheese Pie

8 Comments

Yummy and easy--some of my favorite words, especially when used together! This pie is both of those!
I found this recipe

Impossibly Easy Mac ’n Cheese Pie at Betty Crocker and couldn't wait to try it.


1cup uncooked elbow macaroni (3 1/2 oz)
2cups shredded Cheddar cheese (8 oz)
1/2cup Bisquick Mix
1 1/2cups milk
1/4teaspoon red pepper sauce
2eggs

1.Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 9-inch glass pie plate with cooking spray. Place uncooked macaroni in pie plate. Sprinkle with 1 3/4 cups of the cheese.
2.In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients until blended. Pour into pie plate.
3.Spray sheet of foil with cooking spray; place sprayed side down over pie plate. Bake 20 minutes. Uncover and bake 5 to 10 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

I followed the recipe except omitted the pepper sauce. I don't like hot stuff and I was feeding it to toddlers.
Above is the sprinkle of cheese and I put it back in the oven for 5 minutes. Below, is the finished pie.

I served it with banana slices and peas and carrots to the toddlers. The loved it, as usual.

I read the reviews at the website and they were half loved it and half hated it. Here is my review. Yes, it is bland, but isn't mac & cheese sort of bland? I could easily see some French's Fried onions as a topper or you could add veggies in the pie. Another idea would be to add a half pound of cooked ground beef or turkey--that would make it a great meal! The macaroni was cooked, although a few around the edges were firm, but still very eatable. I had a 'toddler meal' leftover and put it in the freezer for an easy meal next week--just put in the mini crock pot with a splash of water to heat.

I've not made a lot of Mac n' Cheese since there's just two of us, but one of my favorite suppers is Chili Mac. I absolutely adore it. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
