Pepperoni Pieces(2 of 10)

Craving pizza? Skip the calorie-laden deep dish and load up on a carbalicious blend of elbow noodles or pasta shells topped with gooey cheese and giant pepperoni pieces.

For the full effect, stir in ½ a cup of pasta sauce and top your macaroni with a generous amount of mozzarella cheese. Make sure to add the pizza toppings to your existing mac ‘n cheese recipe rather than replacing the cheddar cheese and other ingredients with them.

If pepperoni isn’t your thing, you can also stir in Canadian bacon, sausage, hamburger, black olives, or green peppers.
