Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni according to package directions until al dente (about 8 minutes). Drain well and return pasta to the pot. Add butter, milk, and cheese mix to macaroni; stir until evenly combined. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the beaten eggs until fully incorporated. Add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese; stir until just combined. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Spread the macaroni and cheese mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with pizza sauce, spreading it evenly over the macaroni. Sprinkle the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Arrange pepperoni slices over the cheese and season with dried oregano to taste. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. (35 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use a blend of cheeses such as mozzarella, provolone, and parmesan.
Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite pizza ingredients like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
Ensure the macaroni is cooked al dente to prevent a mushy bake.

    The bake was a bit watery. Next time, I'll make sure to drain the macaroni really well.

    I used a four cheese blend instead of just mozzarella and it turned out great!

    I didn’t have pizza sauce so I used marinara and it tasted just as good.
