Baked Macaroni

Bahamian style macaroni and cheese. Across The Bahamas, this stomach-satisfying delicacy is prepared as a baked dish, which when cut and portioned results in rich, cheesy squares that hold their shape on the plate and resemble lasagne or casserole in appearance. Ample amounts of mild yellow cheddar are baked into and on top of the mixture while flavourful bites of chopped onions, green bell peppers and a variety of herbs and spices enhance the texture and taste. Eggs, evaporated milk and butter serve as both the binding ingredients and the incredibly creamy foundation for this macaroni bake which is not to be confused with the saucier homestyle versions typically found in North America or the pre-packaged boxes for stovetop mac and cheese.
