Tips:
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the pie.
- Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can prevent it from melting smoothly.
- Don't overcook the noodles. They should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Use a large baking dish. This will help to prevent the pie from overflowing.
- Bake the pie until the top is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
