MACARONI PIE | BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE (eggless)

Here's my quick, easy Trinbagonian macaroni pie recipe! This is just the way I make it, and if you make it differently, feel free to share in the comments below!
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 lbs of elbow macaroni (24 oz or 6 cups)
-2-12 oz cans of evaporated milk ( 24 oz or 3 cups) - use more if you like it more creamy. Use non-dairy milk to make it vegan
-8 tablespoons of butter (6 tbsps in the sauce & 2 tbsps in the crackers) Substitute with vegan butter for a non-dairy option
-1 teaspoon of green seasoning
-1 tablespoon of onion powder
-1 teaspoon of garlic powder
-2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes
-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-1 teaspoon of paprika
-a sprinkle of scotch bonnet powder
-1 tablespoon of ketchup
-2 lbs of cheese (add 1 lb to the sauce & 1 lb in the baking dish) Add more cheese if you like it more cheesy like mac and cheese
Cheese that I like: New Zealand Cheddar (traditionally used to make this), Sharp or Mild Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Mozzarella, Gouda, Gruyere, Pepper Jack & Parmesan.
-Salt (taste the sauce after the cheese is added, and add salt accordingly)
-1/2 cup of crushed crackers
Bake at 350 F/ 180 C for 30 minutes, covered, and 10 minutes uncovered. 40 minutes in total.
Special thank you to Sally and her son Christian for the amazing baking dish used in this episode! I absolutely love it!

Taste of Trini right!!! Lol

[@Nick4073]

For over 10 yrs now, I have not used eggs to make macaroni pie. I use lots of cheese to help bind it. Love your version 😍

[@TasteofTrini]

I grew up having it without eggs at home. However, my grandma made it with eggs and grated carrots with the bread crumbs on top. So, this is a combo of both my mom and my grandmother's take on a mac pie 🙂

[@Nick4073]

@@TasteofTrini Great job! I have to try adding green seasoning like u. Guess it brings out a nice flavour 😁

[@soorsatienaraine4803]

nice , I was just searching youtube for a simple recipe for my daughter's school friend to try for himself at home. He saw that she baked bread on her own and now wants to try cooking himself. He loves macaroni pie so he should enjoy making this with his mum.

[@TasteofTrini]

[@dashawnmerriweather8459]

Your the best I've been watching your channel for years now. I was wondering if you could create a vegan version of this recipe? If you ever have time that is 🙂

[@fearyfore]

I'm so jealous of your baking dish, I want a Le Creuset set so much but it's hella expensive, macaroni pie, one of my all time favorites 😋

[@TasteofTrini]

I actually received this as a gift. It definitely is expensive 😭 Thanks for watching!

[@priscillajoseph765]

Looks so scrumptious and like proper comfort food, yes man! Thanks Reshmi as always. 👌 UK Good on its own or + side simple salad?

[@RacquelCooks01]

What kind of meat you serve it with? It looking good too

[@thesmoothcoolrocker86]

U do make it look easy...sure it's also delicious....💜👍

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you! Glad it was simple to understand🙂

[@kendascorner]

Love the idea with the cracker I could just imagine how good this was we need to make a cook and sit down and full our guts when next you are around 😂

[@TasteofTrini]

It was so good girl! We definitely have to do a mukbang next time I'm there.

[@tribejamette872]

I use Almond milk and pepper hack cheese. I like the toppping I will try that next time.

[@TasteofTrini]

Nice! I like gruyere, pepper jack, mozzarella, cheddar and monterey jack. If I could add all, I would🤣

[@sabrinan6828]

I loveeeee that le creuset baking dish! Let me know if you know of any stores that have them on sale :) sometimes I see it at Marshall’s but ppl grab them up fast lol

Thank you😉

[@babygirldass3621]

Gosh tis looks so delicious, I’ll definitely try it. Wat does the ketchup do to the recipe?

[@TasteofTrini]

Thank you! It gives it a nice sweetness and tanginess. I eat pie with ketchup and pepper sauce so the added ketchup in the sauce makes it even better. You can also squirt ketchup on top of the pie before it goes into the oven.

[@pkmntrainerbrown9218]

Hey what kind of butter did you use? I'm gonna make this today and was wondering. Also where did you get the chive?

[@choomunpersand1353]

[@ardentdfender4116]

I was thinking that you should try a variation of this dish in where you use 5-6 different cheeses.

[@TasteofTrini]

Yes, that's what I'll be doing for my mac and cheese recipe 🙂 I have about 5 different cheeses that I love in pasta 😉

[@Nigel_DeLaVega]

Hey..so I haven't watched the video yet damm phone is ready for its grave.... I know it'll be a great vid as usual Strangely enough, we as Trinis or West Indians call this macaroni pie the Canadians and Americans will say Mac and cheese... Some of them surely gonna look at us like we're crazy for ordering aloo pie 😂😂😂😂 Same thing different countries and cultures different names

[@TasteofTrini]

Oh no, hope it gets fixed. Yes that is true. However, I make my macaroni pie less cheesy than the typical mac n cheese. Also, mac n cheese is more wet and creamy 🙂 Haha yeah true.

[@Nigel_DeLaVega]

@@TasteofTrini Try it with regular cheddar cheese...some mozzarella and a sprinkle of paprika.... Mmmmm.... lol

[@ardentdfender4116]

When i see someone cooking and they use Onion Powder and then Garlic Powder, i start wondering if they are from the Caribbean. That, Mac Pie had got some damn good finger licking flavor. However, first time i'm ever seeing Scotch Bonnet Powder ever. Now i have to go find some somewhere on the internet! Update: Found Scotch Bonnet Powder on Amazon. Regardless, I think i'll be making and adapted version of this Mac today with some Pork Chops. Maybe next time, I'll bake it.

[@TasteofTrini]

Lol! I much prefer using fresh, but the powder just hits different in a pie 🙂 Sounds great! Enjoy your meal!

[@ardentdfender4116]

@@@TasteofTrini I made this Mac Pie yesterday and in my own le Creuset Medium dish for dinner as an adapted recipe just eyeing the ingredients. Some i didn't have so it was ok. Just used a bunch of various cheeses I had on hand. It all turned out ok. What I also added for my secret ingredient was just a little bit and way less than the cheese of Peruvian Crema de Aji (yellow) and Crema de Rocoto (Red) both are very creamy chili sauce. Why, because I had it in my refrigerator and the package already opened though its capped. Though i'm caribbean i do often cook with Peruvian peppers having visited there three in last few years. Anyway, I made the dish and it was great regardless with my Panko topping. So another variation you can make to this dish as a suggestion is (1) Many the Cheeses as suggested before. (2) using Peruvian Aji Crema (several variety due to pepper flavors) or a combo mixing of Cheeses and Aji Crema. An adaptation is always using the best of a dish or classic and making some slight variation for variety and you can get variations with these and others i'm sure. I just injected what i've learned and picked up visiting another country in South America into this great dish.

[@karminiparsan4440]

Is that corn tamale pie next to it...you did not show us the whole plate to drool more😣😣👍👍👍

[@TasteofTrini]

That's actually a Jalapeno/Pimento Cheesy Beer Bread. You'll get the recipe soon😉

[@jasonbelgrave44]

What kind of cheese u use?

[@TasteofTrini]

I used a combo of sharp and mild cheddar. You can use the cheese you like. Parmesan, pepper jack, monterey jack and gruyere are all great to use.

[@gem2351]

Ketchup in macaroni pie? If you omit this, I'm sure the dish would taste just as delicious. Trust this Trinbagonian!

[@TasteofTrini]

That's just how I like it. Of course it's optional. This recipe is just a guide. You can omit and add ingredients if you want, that's the beauty of cooking.

[@gem2351]

@@TasteofTrini Just like the ketchup, you could have omitted the sarcasm! Try being a little more health conscious...you don't look as though you like what you cook that much. If you don't like the heat, you should stay out of the KZbin kitchen! KZbin kitchen

[@TasteofTrini]

?? I was not being sarcastic. I tell that to everyone. No two recipes are the same and everyone cooks differently. People cook according to their preference and taste. Have a lovely evening.
