Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  2. Grease a 10-inch pie plate or similar baking dish.
  3. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the uncooked macaroni. Sprinkle this mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  4. In a blender, combine the eggs, milk, Bisquick baking mix, salt, red pepper sauce, and the remaining 1 1/4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Blend the mixture on high speed for about 15 seconds until smooth and well combined.
  6. Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the macaroni and cheese layer in the pie plate.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the pie is set.
  8. Sprinkle the reserved 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the baked pie.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 1-2 minutes, just until the top cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the pie to set.
