Mac + Cheese + Pie = ^_^

So I saw a recipe for a mac n cheese pie that I was going to make but then... I got too lazy to make a crust.  INSTEAD, we have this mini pie maker that works really well with those Pillsbury Grands biscuit dough in the can.  But I also wanted to make a spicy mac n cheese using pepper jack cheese so I researched a couple different recipes and came up with one of my own.  I couldn't use all pepper jack cheese or else the flavor would have been way too overpowering so I used half mild cheddar and half pepper jack.  I never really measure when I cook so these measurements may be a little off but here's about what I think I did:

Ingredients: 

Makes about 16

2 cups of small pasta, cooked al dente

4 oz Monterey pepper jack cheese, cubed

4 oz mild Cheddar cheese, cubed

1 teaspoon all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sour cream

1/2 teaspoon or to taste of salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, tabasco, and garlic

1 cup half-and-half cream

1 tbsp butter

2 cans Pillsbury grands biscuits

Sorry if these measurements aren't really correct...you just have to taste and experiment!

This is the kind of pasta I used.  They're super small!

Just in cause you've been deprived of a childhood and don't know what I'm talking about, these are the type of buiscuts you should get.

What to do:

~ So first cook your pasta and be sure not to overcook it since it'll cook a little when mixing with the other stuff.  

~ Then on the stove cook on medium your butter, half-and-half cream, flour, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, dry mustard, tabasco, and garlic.   

~ Then add both cheeses and let it melt until you get a nice creamy cheesy mixture.  

~ Then finally mix in your sour cream followed by the pasta very last.

~ So once you have your mac n cheese done, time to make the pies!

~ If you don't have a cute handy dandy pie maker, then well, TO BAD.  Should have thought about that before you made your mac n cheese!  Nah jus kidding I'm sure you can use little bowls or maybe even a muffin tin instead and just bake them.  But I dunno I've never tried it so don't blame me if it fails.  Anyways, grease whatever you're going to use and place one layer of the grands biscuit dough onto the bottom, fill it with a small spoonful of the mac n cheese and lay another layer of dough on the top of the filling then close the mini pie maker or if you're using something else, pop them in the oven.

~ The pie maker cooks it pretty fast so it only takes a few minutes; baking in the oven will take longer.  

~ Check them to make sure they are golden brown then pop the little pies out and you're done!
