Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Pillsburry pre made pie crust can make your own - but this way it gets it done fast!
  • 2- 20 oz pre-made mac&cheese see notes
  • 8 oz diced ham
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese any cheddar will work! We like sharp cheddar
  • ⅓ cup milk any milk will do, I use 1%
  • egg wash 1 egg + 1 teaspoon of milk or water
  • seasoning mix see notes

Instructions
 

  • Let the pie crust sit out for 10-20 mins so it's easier to roll out. Pre-heat the oven to 375°

  • Meanwhile, mix both packages of mac&cheese with the ham, cheese, salt & pepper, and milk and set aside
    2- 20 oz pre-made mac&cheese, 8 oz diced ham, ¼ teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, ⅓ cup milk
  • Once the pie crust is ready to be handled, roll out one crust to slightly larger than it already is. Place in an ungreased 9 inch pie pan
  • Fill the pie with the mac&cheese mixture
  • Roll out the top crust to slightly larger than it already is, place on top of the mac&cheese mixture. Seal the edges together and crimp them, make 4 slits in the pie to allow steam to escape
  • Brush the crust with egg wash and sprinkle the top with the seasoning mix

  • Bake at 375° for 25 mins, check crust, if getting too brown, cover edges with tin foil or use a pie crust guard
  • Bake for an additional 30-35 mins until golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  • Let rest for about 10 mins, slice into 6 pie pieces and serve
    A single slice of macaroni and cheese pie sits in the middle of a decorative orange place with a white geodesic pattern on it. The pie has a nicely seasoned flaky crust and you can see the melted cheese, noodles and ham gently flowing onto the plate.

Notes

NUGGETS OF KNOWLEDGE
Seasoning Mix - any multi spice will work, we like 21 Season Salute from Trader Joe's, or Sandwich Sprinkle from Penzey's, anything herby and salty is perfect!
Pre-made Mac & Cheese - You can find these in the meal section of most grocery stores. We like Bob Evan's, Hormel's, Main St for this recipe.
