Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
•
1/4 cup butter
•
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
•
milk
•
3/4 pound processed cheese (such as Velveeta®), cubed
•
1 (11 ounce) package refrigerated pizza crust
•
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a 10x15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray.
2
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.
3
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir until slightly toasted and fragrant, 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.
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.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned and mozzarella is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
