Baking

Filipino-style baked macaroni is a comfort food dish combining classic pasta with a rich and creamy Filipino twist. It typically consists of elbow macaroni mixed in a savory and slightly sweet tomato meat sauce with cheese sauce on top and baked. Often served during the holidays or special occasions.

My recipe is made with a mixture of tomato sauce, tomato paste, ground meat such as pork or beef (you can also use ground turkey or chicken) banana ketchup, dried leaves, red hot dogs, and canned mushrooms (optional), topped with a cheese sauce that consists of a blend of mozzarella, quick-melt cheese, milk and heavy cream. It is a delicious, satisfying, and nostalgic treat that will surely become a family favorite.

I love Filipino-style sweet spaghetti, but Pancake House style SPAGHETTI and MEAT SAUCE hits differently. Pancake House is a popular chain restaurant in the Philippines. They are known for their crispy tacos and spaghetti. Not your typical Filipino spaghetti with red hot dogs and banana ketchup. Their version has a rich and savory beefy taste and a little sweet. So good! I haven’t had it in decades so I tried to recreate it at home.
