This is a great combination of mac ‘n cheese and pizza that my kids love eating. It’s a snap to make and the adults love it too!
Ingredients
- 2 (7.25 ounce) packages macaroni and cheese mix
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup milk
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 (16 ounce) jar pizza sauce (such as Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce)
- 1 (4 ounce) package sliced pepperoni, or to taste
- dried oregano, or to taste
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and return pasta to pot. Add butter, milk, and cheese mix to macaroni; stir until evenly mixed.
Step 3
Stir eggs into macaroni and cheese until incorporated. Add 1 cup mozzarella cheese; stir until just combined.
Step 4
Spread macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish; top with pasta sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese over sauce. Cover the cheese layer with pepperoni and season with oregano.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
Cook?s Note
Sometimes I omit the pepperoni or use browned hamburger or browned Italian sausage as the meat topping. These are good alternatives if someone in your household doesn't like pepperoni.
