Once boiling, turn off the heat and add 4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese a handful at a time, whisking until melted.

Add 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of honey mustard, and 1/3 cup of ketchup to the melted cheese and whisk until combined.

In a separate bowl, cook 1/2 pound of pasta according to the instructions on the box, then add it to the cheese sauce and mix until coated.

Grease the baking pan you will use for the macaroni pie.

Pour the macaroni and cheese mixture into the greased pan, ensuring to get all the cheese sauce.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup of Italian style bread crumbs on top of the macaroni pie.

Bake in the oven for 35 to 40 minutes until set and golden on top.
