2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
½ cup butter
2 (12 ounce) cans evaporated milk
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pinch paprika, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

  • For a crispy macaroni pie crust, pre-bake the macaroni for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Be generous with the butter when greasing the baking dish. This will help the macaroni pie crust to brown nicely.
  • Use a combination of cheeses for a more flavorful macaroni pie. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • If you don't have cottage cheese, you can substitute ricotta cheese or sour cream.
  • Add some cooked vegetables to the macaroni pie filling for a healthier twist. Chopped broccoli, cauliflower, or peas are all good options.
  • Serve the macaroni pie warm with a side salad or your favorite vegetables.
