Macaroni and Cheese Pizza (Print-Friendly Version)

A delicious comfort food fusion of creamy mac and cheese on a golden, crispy pizza crust.

# 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.
