Macaroni pie is a casserole dish based on baked macaroni and cheese. Primary ingredients include elbow macaroni, cheese and milk. Various regional variations exist. In the Caribbean, macaroni pie is typically prepared without using a pie crust, and is sometimes consumed cold, which may be referred to as "Caribbean style". The dish is very popular in Trinidad and Tobago and is often available as a common dish at lunches and dinners. It has been described as a staple food in Tobago. Cheddar cheese, a key ingredient in the dish, was brought to Trinidad by English peoples. It is sometimes served as a side dish accompanied with stewed meats.
