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

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  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.

  3. Stir eggs into macaroni and cheese until incorporated. Add 1 cup mozzarella cheese; stir until just combined.

  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.

  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.
