This macaroni and cheese recipe is for ramekins filled with macaroni and cheese, topped with a garlic butter crescent roll making a Macaroni and Cheese Pot Pie!
Oh, mac n’ cheese, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee when homemade and oozing with cheesy goodness or even when made from a box. I love thee on Macaroni and Cheese Pizza, in Mac and Cheese Balls and now I love thee in Macaroni and Cheese Pot Pie.
Make your favorite macaroni and cheese recipe, adding extra milk and cheese. Fill four small ramekins with the cooked macaroni and cheese. Unroll Pillsbury Garlic Butter Crescent Rolls and press the diagonal seams triangles together to form four rectangles. Cut the rectangles into squares, flatten and place them over the ramekins, stretching gently and pressing to seal in place. Or use a large biscuit cutter to cut out a circle of dough, flatten and place it over the ramekin, stretching gently and pressing to seal in place.
Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 11 to 13 minutes until golden brown. My kids loved these Mac n’ Cheese Pot Pies and their only complaint was that they disappeared too quickly.

This is what my husband said when I put the mac & cheese pot pie in his lunch:
“You pack the best lunches and all the other guys are jealous and wanna know when they can come over to get lunch too. The cheesy muff-roni was the bomb diggity.”
I made it the night before & he just microwaved it the next day <3 I'm about to have mine for dinner!
Thank you so much!
