Description
Macaroni and Cheese Pizza is a delicious fusion dish that combines classic macaroni and cheese with a crispy pizza base for an indulgent dinner option.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups macaroni and cheese (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 slices American cheese
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 premade pizza crust (or make your own for extra flavor)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup shredded colby jack cheese
- Bacon bits (optional)
- Diced jalapeños (optional)
- Chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. If using boxed mac and cheese, prepare according to package instructions. For homemade, cook 2 cups of elbow macaroni and combine with cheese sauce. Add 3 slices of American cheese and ¼ cup milk, stirring over low heat until fully melted.
- Take the premade pizza crust and brush it evenly with ¼ cup olive oil. This helps create a crispy, golden base for the mac and cheese topping.
- Spoon the creamy macaroni and cheese mixture onto the pizza crust, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Sprinkle ½ cup shredded colby jack cheese over the macaroni and cheese. This adds an extra layer of cheesy goodness and helps the topping meld together during baking.
- Bake at 450°F for 7-10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve!
Notes
- Feel free to customize with your favorite toppings or add-ins for extra flavor.
