This Macaroni Pie recipe is a true Trini Sunday Lunch classic.
Truth be told I am no longer a big fan of this dish. When I was growing up, every Sunday I used to eat food from my mother and then go across by my grandmother and eat food again and every Sunday they will both make it. So you could imagine how much I ate in my life. If I never see another pie in my life I will not feel like I missing anything.
While I don’t make this dish often, this is a recipe I developed a long time ago, choosing the right blend of ingredients to make a delicious macaroni pie that does not require any fancy ingredients.
