No need to precook the macaroni! This is easy. A great recipe for kids learning to cook and yet good enough for an adult lunch or dinner. This recipe came from a Betty Crocker flyer about 8 or 10 years ago.

Steps:
- 1. PIE: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9 inch pie plate. Place uncooked macaroni in pie plate. Sprinkle 1 3/4 cup shredded cheese evenly over macaroni. In a mixing bowl stir together all remaining pie ingredients. Mix until well blended. Carefully pour this over ingredients already in pie plate. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean.
- 2. FOR TOPPING PIE AT END OF BAKING: Sprinkle with 1/4 cup cheese and bake for 2-3 minutes more to melt cheese. Let sit outside oven for 5 minutes before cutting. NOTE: If you are using this recipe for adults you may wish to add 1/4 teaspoon of dried red pepper flakes. You can also crush some seasoned croutons and sprinkle over the cheese for final couple of minutes of baking- when you add the cheese and melt it. Or you can garnish the baked pie with paprika or fresh parsley.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. A good quality cheddar cheese and a creamy butter will make a big difference.
- Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be cooked al dente, so that it still has a slight bite to it.
- Be sure to drain the macaroni thoroughly before adding it to the cheese sauce. This will help to prevent the pie from becoming watery.
- Season the cheese sauce to taste. You may want to add additional salt, pepper, or garlic powder.
- Don't overfill the pie crust. The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but it shouldn't be overflowing.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.
Conclusion:
This impossibly easy mac and cheese pie is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
