    Take pizza night to the next level with Macaroni and Cheese Pizza. This mac ‘n cheese pizza recipe is easy to make for a fun family dinner!

    Mac and Cheese Pizza

    Do you love cheese as much as we do? There’s nothing like a bowl of warm, comforting macaroni and cheese. It is the first meal Brian ever made me.

    While we were dating, he told me about how his mom would make him homemade mac n’ cheese that was extra creamy, almost like cheesy soup. I had never eaten macaroni and cheese like that so one evening he made it for me and it was delicious.

    Since pizza is another one of our favorite things to eat, I combined the two and made macaroni and cheese pizza!

    How To Make Macaroni and Cheese Pizza

    Macaroni and Cheese in pot

    Step One

    Start by making three cups of macaroni and cheese.

    I was in a hurry so I made a boxed version of macaroni shells and cheese instead of making the homemade version.

    Once box made three cups of mac n’ cheese.

    Add three slices of American cheese and 1/4 cup of milk to make a little more cheese sauce.

    Pizza Crust

    Step Two

    Place a premade pizza crust on a pizza pan and brush with olive oil.

    Or if you have the time and the ingredient, make a two ingredient pizza crust or pizza dough from my blog.

    top with shredded cheese

    Step Three

    Spread the macaroni and cheese on the crust and top with 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.

    What kind of cheese should I use?

    We love using shredded colby jack cheese because it was what we had on hand. But you can use any of your favorite cheeses or a combination of cheeses! Here are a few suggestions:

    • cheddar
    • parmesan
    • gruyere
    • gouda
    • mozzarella

    Step Four

    Bake at 450 degrees for 7 – 10 minutes (or longer depending on who golden you want the cheese to be).

    What toppings can I put on my macaroni and cheese pizza?

    If you are looking for Macaroni and Cheese Pizza toppings, try adding bacon, sliced corn dogs, sliced hot dogs, or bread crumbs.

    There is a restaurant near our house that makes Macaroni and Cheese Pizza. When we tried some of it recently, we all agreed that my version is way better than the restaurant version!

    What else can I make with macaroni and cheese?

      Instead of using American cheese and extra milk have you thought about using nacho cheese sauce?

      We tried a bbq version and it was fantastic. We preferred it over the regular version. I just spread our fav bbq sauce (swt baby ray’s) over the mac and cheese and then put some shredded mozzarella on top before sticking it in the oven. In the future we are thinking of trying a veggie version with some veggie crumbles (grillers) mixed in with the mac and cheese and bbq sauce and perhaps a meaty version with sausage chunks.
