Ingredients

6 servings
- •2 (7.25 ounce) packages macaroni and cheese dinner mix (such as Kraft®)
- •6 cups water
- •1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- •1 pound ground beef
- •1 onion, chopped
- •1 small green bell pepper, chopped
- •1 (14 ounce) jar pizza sauce
- •1 (3.25 ounce) package sliced pepperoni
- •1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- •½ teaspoon dried oregano
- •½ teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Reserving cheese packets, cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and transfer macaroni to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle one reserved cheese packet over macaroni and top with Cheddar cheese.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and bell pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir remaining reserved cheese packet into beef; spread beef mixture over macaroni.
- Pour pizza sauce over beef mixture and top with pepperoni slices and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle oregano and basil over cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.
