Macaroni Pie



Macaroni Pie is a very common casserole made in Caribbean homes. This is a typical version. It can be made elaborate by adding pieces of meat, carrot, or tomato to the mixture before baking.

2 cups cheese, grated
16 oz macaroni (elbow or ziti)
1/2 cup ketchup
3 cups milk
1 egg, beaten
1/4 tsp. black pepper, ground
1 tsp salt


  • Preheat oven to 350° F/180° C.
  • On medium high heat, boil macaroni in salted water for 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
  • In a large bowl, combine ketchup, milk, black pepper, and egg; mix well.
  • Add macaroni; mix well.
  • Pour into a greased baking dish.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until slightly brown.


Serve as a side dish.


Serves 6-8
