Yes, one can learn dumb things on the interwebs….today is National Macaroni Day. ;-P
So in celebration a total trash-erole, Mac n’ Cheese Pie, a recipe that I got the idea out of Betty Crocker Bisquick Impossibly Easy Pies: Pies that Magically Bake Their Own Crust and then tweaked it a bit to make it with less fat, as well as adding in more spices.
You can see the original recipe as well on Bisquick’s website.

Mac n’ Cheese Trash-erole
Ingredients:
1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
2 cups grated cheese (I used half cheddar, half Italian blend)
1/2 cup Heart Smart Bisquick mix
1 1/2 cups nonfat dairy milk
3 egg whites
1/2 tsp ground mustard powder
1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper sauce
Directions:
Heat oven to 400° and spray a glass ovenproof 8″ square baking pan with pan spray. Place the uncooked pasta in the pan.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, 1 3/4 cups of the cheese, milk, seasonings and biscuit mix. Pour over the pasta, making sure all the pasta is covered.
Cover pan tightly with foil.
Bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 to 20 minutes, until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. This will depend on your oven. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bake for another 2 minutes, to melt it.
Remove from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
Cut into squares.
Makes 9 squares, or 3 servings.
