Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lbs (454 g) pizza dough
- 2 boxes cheddar mac and cheese
- milk and butter called for on mac and cheese box
- 2 cups (473 ml) shredded sharp cheddar
- 2-3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1-2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the mac and cheese. Prepare noodles according to package directions, using slightly more milk for a runnier sauce.
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C).
- Spread a small amount of olive oil on a pizza pan and place the pizza dough on top.
- In a small bowl, mix together the remaining olive oil with parsley, garlic powder, and salt. Brush evenly onto the dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then remove.
- Spoon the mac and cheese onto the crust and top with additional shredded cheddar cheese.
- Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden brown, and the cheese is bubbling. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispier cheese crust.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use freshly grated cheddar cheese instead of pre-shredded.
- To prevent a soggy crust, pre-bake the dough for 5-7 minutes before adding the mac and cheese.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
