macaroni pie

Caribbean cheesy casserole

Macaroni pie is a baked dish of macaroni in a cheese sauce, often with a crisp top—essentially macaroni and cheese prepared as a casserole.

The dish is especially associated with Caribbean cuisine, where it appears at family gatherings and holidays: No Thanksgiving spread is complete without macaroni pie.

In Trinidad and other islands, it's denser and firmer than American mac and cheese, sliceable into squares.
