About Bahamian Macaroni and Cheese

Tru Bahamian Food Tours presents baked macaroni as a familiar part of Bahamian Sunday meals and celebrations. Its traditional pan recipe, adopted from Kev's Bahamian Baked Macaroni, combines elbow macaroni with cheddar, butter, eggs and evaporated milk.

Green bell pepper and white onion bring small vegetable pieces to the pasta. Black pepper, paprika and habanero season the mixture, while reserved cheddar covers the top.

The macaroni bakes until golden and cools to room temperature before serving. Cut into squares, it holds its shape on the plate, with ketchup offered as an accompaniment.
