Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• cooking spray
• Milk
• 1 (11 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
• 0.25 cup butter
• 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1.5 cups elbow macaroni
• 0.75 pound processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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, 8 minutes. Drain.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a 10x15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir until slightly toasted fragrance, about 2 minutes. Whisk in enough milk to reach desired consistency; simmer until thickened, whisking constantly, 2 minutes. Stir in processed cheese cubes until melted and smooth, stirring often.

Step 4

Unroll pizza crust; place on the prepared baking sheet. Spread about 3/4 cup cheese sauce on crust. Stir cooked macaroni into remaining cheese sauce; spoon onto crust in an even layer. Sprinkle pizza with mozzarella cheese.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned and mozzarella is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
