Hey Melissa, I saw that recipe for Macaroni Pie from Richard and I'd like to suggest another version that's super good and one we've used for years :
Macaroni & Cheese With Wine 1 1/2 cups uncooked Elbow Macaroni 1/4 cup chopped Onion 3 T. Butter (melted) 3 T. All-Purpose Flour 1 1/2 cups Milk 1/2 cups Dry White Wine 1/2 tsp. Salt Pinch of Pepper 16 ounces shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (divided) Paprika Dry bread crumbsCook macaroni, drain and set aside. Sauté onion in butter in heavy saucepan; add flour, stirring until mixture is smooth. Cook one minute, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk and wine; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat; add salt, pepper, and 8 ounces of cheese. Stir until cheese melts. Add macaroni and mix well. Pour into a lightly greased 2-quart casserole. Sprinkle with 8 oz. cheese, paprika and bread crumbs.Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Uncover and continue baking 15 minutes.
