Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe is what happens when three all-stars—mac & cheese, bacon cheeseburgers, and pizza—join forces. It’s gooey, salty, smoky, cheesy, beefy, and totally over the top in the best way.
Like Dorito Casserole or Crockpot Nacho Dip, this recipe is unapologetically bold. It’s for when you’re not counting calories—you’re counting smiles.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- ½ cup macaroni noodles, cooked
- ½ lb ground beef
- 6 slices of bacon, cooked and chopped
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup diced tomatoes
- ¼ cup diced onions
- ¼ cup diced pickles
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 400°F. - Cook the Pasta and Beef
Boil macaroni noodles according to package directions, drain, and set aside. Meanwhile, brown the ground beef in a skillet and season with salt and pepper. - Assemble the Pizza
Roll out the pre-made crust on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Start with a layer of cooked macaroni noodles as your “sauce” base. - Layer on the Good Stuff
Top the noodles with the cooked ground beef. Then sprinkle on both cheeses, followed by the tomatoes, onions, and pickles. - Bacon on Top
Finish by scattering chopped cooked bacon over everything. - Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown. - Cool and Serve
Let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve hot and get ready for rave reviews.
Tips for Success
- Use thick-cut bacon: It adds extra texture and flavor.
- Pre-cook your crust if needed: Especially if it’s homemade or on the softer side—this keeps it crisp under the weight of the toppings.
- Balance the toppings: Don’t overload or you’ll get a soggy crust. Stick to even layers.
