Macaroni Pie   by Haydn Dunn

Macaroni Pie  Macaroni Pie – This side dish goes well with stewed chicken, but can also be enjoyed on its own.
Macaroni pie can be enhanced further by adding ingredients such as tomato and chopped herbs. Use your imagination.
Usually best when the surface has browned to an even colour.
Some people sprinkle breadcrumbs on the surface prior to baking

2 cups milk, evaporated milk or half & half
3 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
Grease a 2 quart baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

 

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add a bit of salt to the water and pour in the macaroni. Cook the macaroni according to the manufacturer's instructions, for about 10 minutes, or until all dente. (The macaroni will continue to cook in the oven.)

Drain the macaroni well in a colander, then pour it into a large bowl. Add the grated cheddar cheese to the pasta and stir to combine the two thoroughly.

Break the eggs into a medium sized bowl and whisk them lightly. Add the milk to the eggs and whisk them together Pour the milk and egg mixture over the macaroni, add salt and pepper to taste and stir to combine all of the ingredients well.

Macaroni  Pour the macaroni mixture into the greased baking dish and bake it in a preheated oven for about an hour, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Allow the macaroni pie to rest for 15 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.

Note: If the top seems to be browning too fast or too much while it is baking, you can cover the baking dish loosely with some foil.
