October's Pie: Macaroni & Cheese!

Alright, y'all. I really don't measure things. Ever. So... here's what I think went into this:

Crust:
2 C bread crumbs
1/2 C butter

Blend with knives or pastry blender; add water a little at a time until it sticks loosely. Line pie pan; bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes to prepare shell.

Filling:
1/2 onion, minced
1/4 C butter
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 C flour
2-3 C milk
2-3 C shredded cheddar cheese
Bacon bits
1 (16 oz.) packages shell noodles

Boil noodles. Make them done.

Meanwhile, brown onion and garlic in butter, add flour to make a roux (more flour if needed.) After roux has thickened, add milk and cheese; heat until cheese is melted.

Mix noodles into sauce, then pour into pie shell. (I had way too much sauce for my pasta, so I used a slotted spoon to scoop the noodles in, then saved the sauce for future connivery.) Top with bacon bits, then bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. If you want, foil the edges so the crust doesn't burn. When you've got about 10 minutes left, sprinkle some leftover bread crumbs over the pie. Or don't. I don't really give a care.

Remove foil before eating. Seriously.
