    The secret is in the seasoning.
    What most recipes miss is enough fresh seasoning, namely grated onion, scallion and garlic

    I made this yesterday and it was truly delicious. I think most macaroni pies I've had have lacked spices, except occasionally someone will douse it with hot sauce (yawn). The flavors of this pie were delicious. To those of you saying you left out this or that because you don't like this or that, try this as it is written. I think you'll find that you don't taste, for example, bell pepper - it combines with everything else and becomes a complex, earthy, melodious note of flavor, and is delicious as is.
    Thanks again.

    I made this version last Christmas and it went down very well.Im making this tonight for family coming over tomorrow but completely forgot the evaporated milk! so I've used full fat milk instead but I'm sure it will be fine.
    I've seen other American versions but some have more than four types of cheese which I think is too much more like cheese and mac instead of mac cheese.
