Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
1 (11 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
1 ½ cups elbow macaroni
¼ cup butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
milk
¾ pound processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 10x15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray. Unroll pizza crust and place on the prepared baking pan.
  • 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, 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir flour with butter until it has a slightly toasted fragrance, about 2 minutes. Whisk in milk and simmer until thickened, whisking constantly, 2 more minutes. Stir in processed cheese cubes. Let the cheese cubes melt, stirring often, to make a smooth cheese sauce.
  • Spread about 3/4 cup of cheese sauce onto the pizza crust. Stir cooked macaroni into remaining cheese sauce in the saucepan and spoon the macaroni and cheese onto the crust in an even layer. Sprinkle top of pizza with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly browned and the mozzarella cheese is golden brown, about 15 minutes.

  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, oil, salt and sugar.
  • Add in yeast water and mix together, making a ball.
  • Knead by hand 5-10 minutes, until when you press your thumb down the indention stays. (You could also use your hand/stand mixer if it has a kneading attachment for about 2-3 minutes or you could use your bread machine).
  • Rub small amount of olive oil around dough, to keep it from sticking, and place in a large bowl, covering with saran wrap.
  • Place in a warm area to rise atleast 30 minutes.

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Roll out dough to fit either your pizza stone or out on a baking sheet, pinching up edges to make the crust.
  • With a spoon, add a very thin layer of sauce on the dough and put in the oven to bake for 15 minutes or until dough is almost fully cooked.
  • Remove from oven and add cooked macaroni; cover with more cheese sauce.
  • Place back in the oven and continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes or until dough is fully cooked.
  • Enjoy!

MACARONI AND CHEESE PIZZA



Macaroni and Cheese Pizza image

Provided by Aaron McCargo Jr.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 pound dried rotini pasta
Olive oil cooking spray
6 slices thick-cut good quality bacon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 white onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Pinch ground nutmeg
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups whole milk
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
1 cup grated mozzarella
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup Parmesan
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 store-bought pizza dough, rolled out and spread on a well-oiled baking sheet

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the rotini al dente. Drain and spray with olive oil cooking spray, making sure the noodles are coated well. Set aside.
  • In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings and add the butter. Add the onions, garlic and nutmeg. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper and saute until the onions wilt and become translucent, about 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and sprinkle in the flour, stirring to coat the onions and garlic. Continue to cook until you have a blond roux, about 5 minutes. Whisk in the milk until you have a thick enough sauce that it coats the back of a spoon. Crumble the bacon and add half to the sauce. Mix in the Cheddar and mozzarella. Turn the heat to low. Add the pasta to the cheese sauce and stir to coat. Cover and keep warm.
  • In a small bowl, add the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, chives and olive oil. Add the rest of the crumbled bacon and add it to the bowl, stirring well to combine.
  • Spray the pizza dough with the olive oil spray and place into the oven for 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and set down. Spread the macaroni and cheese on the pizza, being careful to leave a 1-inch border. Sprinkle with the breadcrumb mixture on the macaroni and cheese and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes to set the macaroni and cheese.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound (16 ounces) cavatappi pasta (or similar short-cut pasta)
1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
6 cups (1.44 kilograms) 2% or whole milk, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded mozzarella
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Parmesan
1/2 cup store-bought pizza sauce
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
A handful of fresh basil leaves, torn

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the noodles and cook to al dente per the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about a minute. Add the milk, a cup at a time, whisking or stirring with a wooden spoon after each addition until thickened. Add the mozzarella, Swiss and 1/2 cup Parmesan and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. At this point if you want to add fun mix-ins like cut-up hot dogs, crispy bacon, peas or hot sauce, now's the time to do so. Stir in the noodles. It may seem overly saucy at this point, but once it bakes up, it'll be perfect!
  • Pour into a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish. Dollop all over with the pizza sauce. In a medium bowl, toss the breadcrumbs, garlic, crushed red pepper flakes and remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle all over the mac and cheese. Bake until browned and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh basil and enjoy!

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ stick unsalted butter
¼ cup all purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups Happy Belly Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 lb elbow macaroni, cooked until al dente according to package instructions
2 large eggs, beaten
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 ¾ cups pizza sauce
1 ½ cups Happy Belly Shredded Low Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
⅓ cup pepperoni slices
½ green bell pepper, thinly sliced
¼ cup mushroom, sliced
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
½ teaspoon italian seasoning, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Make the mac 'n' cheese: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Add the Happy Belly Cheddar and stir until melted, 2-4 minutes.
  • Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until well coated.
  • Fold in the eggs and bread crumbs until incorporated.
  • Grease a 16-inch pizza pan with nonstick spray. Spoon the mac 'n' cheese onto the pan and smooth in an even layer, pressing gently on the top and sides to release any air bubbles and tidy up the edges.
  • Bake the mac 'n' cheese crust for 25-30 minutes, until browned on top and holding together.
  • Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
  • Top with the Happy Belly Mozzarella, pepperoni, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
  • Return the pizza to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned to your liking.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning on top, if using. Let the pizza rest in the pan for 6-8 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
  • Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and cut into 10-12 slices.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your pizza a more complex flavor. For example, you could use a combination of mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the macaroni. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Make sure the pizza is cooked all the way through. The cheese should be melted and bubbly, and the crust should be golden brown.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include bacon, ham, pepperoni, and vegetables.
  • Serve the pizza immediately. It's best when it's hot and fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Macaroni and cheese pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion.
