Mac and Cheese Pizza Casserole
Ingredients
  • 2 (7.25 ounce) packages macaroni and cheese mix
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 3 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 1 (16 ounce) jar pizza sauce (such as Prego® Traditional Italian Sauce)
  • 1 (4 ounce) package sliced pepperoni, or to taste
  • dried oregano, or to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the optimal temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Seal a 9x13-inch baking container with a non-stick coating to prevent food from sticking.
3
Fill a large pot with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then cook elbow macaroni until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
4
To check for doneness, try biting into the pasta; if it still feels slightly firm, continue cooking in 2-minute increments until it reaches your desired texture.
5
Drain the cooked pasta and return it to the pot. Add a pat of butter, a splash of milk, and shredded cheese mix; stir until everything is well combined.
6
Incorporate eggs into the pasta mixture, stirring until they are fully incorporated.
7
Then add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese; stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
8
Spoon the pasta mixture into your prepared baking container.
9
Top the pasta mixture with a generous helping of pasta sauce.
10
Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese over the pasta sauce.
11
Finish by adding a layer of pepperoni on top, followed by a sprinkle of dried oregano.
12
Place the baking container in your preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted, approximately 30 minutes.
