Creating Mac ’n’ Cheese Pie is simple with these clear steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Prepare Pie Crust: Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
4. Mix Cheese Sauce: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, milk, eggs, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
5. Add Bacon: If using, fold in the crumbled bacon mixture for added flavor.
6. Fill Crust: Pour the mac and cheese mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
8. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color.
