Ingredients
- 2 cups macaroni and cheese (homemade or store-bought)
- 3 slices American cheese
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 premade pizza crust
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup shredded colby jack cheese
- Optional Add-ins:
- Crumbled cooked chicken sausage
- Diced jalapeños
- Chopped green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. If you’re using boxed macaroni and cheese, prepare it according to the directions. For homemade, cook elbow macaroni and stir in cheese sauce, American cheese, and milk over low heat until smooth and creamy.
- Brush the premade pizza crust evenly with olive oil to ensure a crispy, golden base.
- Spread the macaroni and cheese mixture evenly over the pizza crust.
- Sprinkle shredded colby jack cheese on top for added cheesiness.
- Bake for 7–10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add crumbled cooked chicken sausage or sprinkle some diced jalapeños on top for a spicy kick.
- This is a great way to use up leftover macaroni and cheese and turn it into a fun, creative meal.
- Serve with a side of chopped green onions for a fresh, savory garnish.
