Ingredients

To make this you’ll need:

Macaroni and cheese– I recommend Velveeta shells and cheese but you could use your favorite kind of boxed macaroni or leftover homemade mac and cheese.
Cheese sauce– Velveeta cheese works so well in this, but you could use homemade cheese sauce if you prefer.
Pizza crust– 2 premade 12″ inch crusts.
Olive oil– Extra virgin
Cheddar cheese– Shredded

How to Make

To make this mac and cheese pizza, start by making the macaroni and cheese according to the directions on the package.

Then brush both pizza crusts evenly with olive oil using a pastry brush.

Spread the cheese sauce evenly out over the two crusts.

Then, top the sauced crusts with mac and cheese, spreading it out evenly.

Sprinkle shredded cheese out over both pizzas.

Bake at 450 for 7 to 10 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

Slice, serve and enjoy!

Can I use a homemade crust to make this pizza?

Yes!

We often use this Easy Homemade Pizza Dough recipe.

If you use homemade dough, you may need additional cook time.

How To Make A Simple Cheese Sauce

If you’d prefer to make a cheese sauce from scratch, or can’t find the single pouches of Velveeta cheese sauce in your grocery store, here’s how you do it.

Add 3-4 slices of American cheese & 1/4 cup of milk to a small pot or skillet.

Stir them together over low heat, just until melted and smooth.

Use this sauce in place of the pouch of Velveeta sauce.

How many pizzas does this recipe make?

This recipe makes 2 12″ pizzas.

You can half the recipe to make 1 if you prefer.

Other Toppings to Add to Mac and Cheese Pizza

You can turn this into a pulled pork pizza. Just add your favorite barbecue sauce, pulled pork, diced red onion and fresh cilantro leaves.
For a little veggie action, you could also add chopped steamed broccoli florets
Other delicious additions are chopped rotisserie chicken and cooked bacon.

Storing Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Reheat the pizza in a hot oven until the cheese has melted again.

Tips and Tricks

Any kind of boxed mac and cheese will work.
If you are making homemade mac for this, avoid baked macaroni and cheese recipes. They tend to be not as creamy and a touch drier. As you will bake the pizza with the mac and cheese on it, this is not ideal.
For extra cheesy goodness, get some extra cheese sauce to serve with the pizza for dunking purposes.
