Mac 'n Cheese Impossible Pie

Impossible Pies are made with Bisquick mix, and are so easy to make. This Mac 'n Cheese Impossible Pie allows you to make macaroni and cheese without cooking the pasta first. Impossibly, so it seems, it forms its own crust while it bakes.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup uncooked large elbow macaroni
  • 2 ¼ cups 2% milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup Bisquick baking mix
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Hungarian paprika
  • teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup frozen shredded potatoes thawed (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon slivered basil (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400˚F, and coat a 10-inch pie dish with butter. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Place the uncooked macaroni in the pie dish, and add the cheese and toss a bit.
    Thoroughly stir the remaining ingredients EXCEPT THE BASIL in a 4-cup measuring cup, and pour over the macaroni and cheese. Push down any macaroni on the surface - it must all be covered with liquid.
  • Bake for 40 - 50 minutes until the top is all puffy, and the macaroni are completely cooked. A knife inserted into the pie should come out clean.
    I tented foil over the pie after 20 minutes to keep it from browning too much.
  • Cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
    (Optional) Sprinkle a little slivered basil over the pie just before serving.
