Ingredients
  

For the Mac and Cheese:

  • 8 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Pizza:

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mac and Cheese:

  • Cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux.
  • Gradually whisk in milk and cream, cooking until the mixture thickens.
  • Add shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Combine the cheese sauce with the cooked macaroni and set aside.

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) if using a pizza stone. If not, 450°F (230°C) will work for a baking sheet.

Prepare the Pizza Dough:

  • Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly greased pizza stone or baking sheet.

Assemble the Pizza:

  • Brush the pizza dough with olive oil.
  • Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.
  • Spoon the mac and cheese mixture evenly over the mozzarella layer.
  • Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  • Season with dried oregano, dried basil, and red pepper flakes if using.

Bake the Pizza:

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Cool and Serve:

  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Cut into wedges and enjoy your Mac and Cheese Pizza!
