Macaroni And Cheese Ham Pie
Macaroni And Cheese Ham Pie
This sounds really good, a must try for me. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dry elbow macaroni
- 3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded (this 1 1/2, 250 gram blocks)
- 1 cup cooked ham, cubed
- 2 1/4 cups milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Bisquick Mix, OR make from a shortcut
- salt and pepper, to taste
- fresh parsley, chopped, optional
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 200 C. Lightly grease a glass deep dish pie pan or 9x13 baking dish with butter. In large bowl, mix 2 cups of the cheese, the ham and uncooked macaroni. Spread in the baking dish.
- Mix milk and eggs until smooth. Add Bisquick mix and salt if desired; mix until smooth (you can use a blender for this if you want. Pour over mixture in baking dish.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 1 to 2 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with a green vegetable for a complete meal.
Notes
Cheese is the major cost here at 185 Baht/250 gram block, this will take 1 1/2 blocks, about 278 Baht for cheese. The ham would be another cost factor. If using leftover ham, that would be perfect. Store bought ham, Makro is between 150 to 200 Baht for 500 grams, about 140 grams would be needed here so we'll call that, 80 Baht. About 360 for cheese and ham or about $1.75 per person for six meals.
For variants, add a chopped onion, broccoli, or even try with cooked and chopped chicken.
Shortcut: Bisquick Mix.
