Impossible Macaroni And Cheese Pie

Impossible Macaroni and Cheese Pie recipe image
This "Impossible" Macaroni and Cheese Pie is a nostalgic American comfort food classic that requires no pre-boiling of the pasta. The uncooked macaroni absorbs the rich mixture of milk, eggs, and Bisquick as it bakes, resulting in a tender, custard-like texture that is incredibly creamy. It is a one-pan wonder that simplifies weeknight dinners while delivering maximum flavor. Perfect for family gatherings or when you crave something warm and satisfying, this dish relies on simple pantry staples to create a hearty vegetarian main. The addition of red pepper sauce provides a subtle kick that balances the richness of the cheddar cheese, making it a satisfying meal that feels both homemade and elegant.

Ingredients
  • 2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup Uncooked macaroni
  • 2 1/4 cup Milk
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Bisquick baking mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Red pepper sauce
  • 1/4 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

  7. 7
    Return to the oven and bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, just until the top cheese is melted.

Note

If you are cooking at high altitude (3500 to 6500 feet), you must pre-cook the macaroni. Boil the pasta in water for 5 minutes, drain thoroughly, and cool completely before mixing with the cheese and adding to the pie plate. Proceed with the rest of the recipe as directed.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and warm in a 350ðF oven for 15-20 minutes, or microwave individual slices until heated through.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to the liquid mixture. You can also substitute half of the cheddar with Monterey Jack or Gouda for a different cheese profile.
