Cheesy beef and pepperoni mac and cheese casserole.
Ingredients:
  • 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
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Boil a large pot of salted water. Cook macaroni until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking dish. Sprinkle one cheese packet and Cheddar cheese on top.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté beef, onion, and bell pepper until well-browned and crumbled, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease. Mix in the remaining cheese packet and spread the flavorful beef mixture over the macaroni.
  • Cover the beef mixture with a generous layer of pizza sauce, then arrange pepperoni slices and mozzarella cheese on top. Finish off with a sprinkle of oregano and basil over the cheese.
  • Bake until the cheese is gooey and the sauce is bubbling, for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven.
