http://caribbeanpot.com/a-chef-doeuvre-macaroni-pie/ shows you step by step how to create this wonderful dish enjoyed as Sunday lunch in Trinidad and Tobago. Macaroni pie is very simple to make and takes less than 1 hr to make.
@62halee Actually, they can. Imports online. And true local Vermont sharp cheddar and Gruyere is excellent in the dish. Wisconsin also has good cheeses but you've got to get the true local ones. You just have to go to a cheese specialty shop. That grocery store junk is awful.
Chris: Besides the cheddar cheese, I usually add a small container of cottage cheese and some grated Parmesan cheese in it. I know that is not the Trinidadian way but that is how I make it now. It adds some more flavour and comes out moist.
the long macaroni is so so good. i didn't think it would make a difference until i tried it. we found two packages on clearance at a cheese shop on a trip to chicago and haven't found it again. boo hoo.
hey chris my parents are from trinidad and i just wanted to say keep up with all the good work these are really great i also like the geera pork vid great job....thanks....
@hwiseman1 love the lidea of using Gruyere. i'll have to give that a try.

What a pity North Americans cannot access Great cheddar from Ireland and New Zealand.
The secret to real Trini style macaroni pie is in the cheddar!
