Macaroni pie - does anyone else make this?

Oh, I thought you meant a macaroni pie like we get here in Scotland. It's basically the same kind of pie shell you get with a Scotch pie, but filled with macaroni cheese! Delicious - and we're lucky enough to have a great little bakery near us whose macaroni pies were recently voted the best in Scotland.

Sounds good to me Witzend . Please do let us have your recipe and method. Would love to try it.

That’s where we first found it too, V3ra!

If anyone would like the recipe, happy to pass on. Very easy but you do have to grate a lot of cheese!

We found this was on every buffet table in Barbados. My husband loved it, which is bizarre as he won't eat macaroni cheese as we know it ?
I didn't know about it being baked including eggs so I'll look into this.
Have a great day!

That sounds delicious. Always had a soft spot for macaroni cheese.

I first came across it on holiday, where it was a buffet staple. Basically macaroni cheese, only with eggs and baked in the oven.
Delish, and great for a buffet, since it slices into squares.

I’ve just put one in the oven, since dd and family arriving later for early dinner - SiL is craving a roast so doing his favourite lamb, but dd and Gdd1 are largely veggie.

Macaroni pie and a big crumble now both in the oven - and I’m still I’m my dressing gown! Once showered and dressed I will get on with peeling a mountain of potatoes - 2 elder Gdcs are eating like horses and growing like weeds at the moment.
