RECIPE: CARIBBEAN MACARONI PIE

Ingredients

• 2 cups elbow macaroni uncooked
• 2 eggs
• 2 2/3 cups evaporated milk (measure from 2 cans of Carnation milk)
• 3 1/2 cups cheddar cheese grated, reserve ½ cup for topping
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• salt to taste

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Boil macaroni in salted water approximately 8 minutes, or according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. 
• In a large bowl, beat eggs until fluffy.
• Add milk, pepper, sugar and salt and stir until combined.
• Stir in 3 cups of cheese, and the cooked macaroni.
• Pour into a greased, 9×11 baking dish and top with reserved ½ cup of cheese.
• Bake until firm, 35-40 minutes.
• Allow pie to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Tips:

• Cold cheese is easier to shred than warm cheese.
• If the cheese on top begins to brown too quickly, cover it with tin foil for the remaining baking time.
