Whenever any of my kids want to have friends over for dinner or a sleepover, this is the dish I turn to. It’s always a hit among all the little ones. There aren’t too many children out there that don’t like pizza and mac and cheese. I’ve gotten some pretty funny looks when I tell them that I am combining them into one pan, but there are never any complaints after they try it! Clean up is super simple with just the one pan too. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at The Recipe Rebel:
“Because the only way pizza could get better is if you made it on a mac & cheese crust.”
This really is the best of two different worlds slapped together in one pan!
Ingredients
1 375g box of macaroni (or other short pasta) — 4-5 cups
2 cups Swanson chicken broth
2.5 cups milk
1½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp oregano
3 cups cheese, divided
1½ cups Ragu pizza sauce
10-15 slices Hormel pepperoni
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In an oven-safe dutch oven or pot, bring pasta, broth, milk, salt, garlic and oregano to a boil and reduce to a simmer over medium heat. Cook and stir for 10-12 minutes until al dente. Stir in 1½ cups cheese.
Top with pizza sauce, remaining cheese and pepperoni and bake for 10 minutes until hot. Broil for 1-2 minutes until pepperoni starts to crisp up on the edges and cheese starts to brown.
Devour.
