# What You Need:
→ Mac and Cheese Base
01 -
1 box macaroni and cheese, prepared according to package instructions
02 -
3 slices American cheese
03 -
1/4 cup whole milk
→ Pizza Crust and Toppings
04 -
1 premade pizza crust
05 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
06 -
1 cup shredded colby jack cheese
# How to Make It:
01 -
Cook the boxed macaroni and cheese following the package directions. Stir in American cheese slices and milk over low heat until fully melted and creamy.
02 -
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Brush the pizza crust evenly with olive oil to promote a crispy finish.
03 -
Spread the creamy mac and cheese evenly over the prepared pizza crust, ensuring not to overload any area.
04 -
Sprinkle the shredded colby jack cheese uniformly over the mac and cheese layer.
05 -
Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 7–10 minutes, until the top is bubbly and golden and the crust edges are crispy.
06 -
Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing to prevent the mac and cheese from sliding off.
# Important Notes:
01 -
Brush the crust with olive oil to create a barrier that prevents sogginess.
02 -
Allowing the pizza to rest before slicing ensures clean cuts and intact toppings.
03 -
Use leftover mac and cheese to save time and reduce waste.
04 -
Add bacon bits, jalapeños, or green onions for variation, but avoid overloading the crust.
05 -
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to maintain crust texture.
