Meaty Mac and Cheese Pie




Usually it’s my little guy Cole who is the first to offer up his thoughts—he thought the pie fusion was such a cool idea. Then comes Matt—he was bummed he didn’t think of the pie idea himself. Then the baby—I said pie so he was expecting sweet. A meltdown of tears and screams for pie followed.

“No fake pie, real pie”.

“Try mommy’s fake pie. Look Daddy and Cole love it”. After more tears, plate pushing, I caved.


“Here Connor let’s make the fake pie real.” I added diced apples to the top. Which is why you see them in the ingredient image below. It was actually very good – nice bit of subtle sweetness to even out the cheese.


Ingredients:
  • 2 9" pie crusts (your favorite recipe or ready made)
  • 1 lb. shell pasta
  • 10 oz. ground sausage
  • 8 oz. fontina cheese
  • 8 oz. extra sharp cheddar
  • 4 oz. parmesan cheese
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 large sage leaves
  • 1/3 cup Marsala wine
  • 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 cup fairlife Milk
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten

Directions:

If making pies, prepare two 9-inch pie pans with dough and blind bake to golden brown, about 20 mins at 350 degrees F. Set baked pie crusts aside until ready to use. If you using a casserole pan, lightly butter a 9x13 pan, set aside.
