Macaroni and Cheese Pizza Bake Recipe

Macaroni and Cheese Pizza Bake Recipe

  • 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
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. 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, about 8 minutes. Drain and return pasta to pot. Add butter, milk, and cheese mix to macaroni; stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Stir eggs into macaroni and cheese until incorporated. Add 1 cup mozzarella cheese; stir until just combined.
  4. Spread macaroni and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish; top with pasta sauce. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups mozzarella cheese over sauce. Cover the cheese layer with pepperoni and season with oregano.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 30 minutes.
