Why I Like Pizza Macaroni and Cheese
This is one of those recipes I snapped a pic of in a magazine somewhere. Now some of these recipes pan out and some don’t, but this one is a keeper! What I like about this recipe is, the ingredients are easy to just have on hand and fairly non-perishable.
Another thing that makes this a great family recipe is you can make this the night before and pop it in the oven when you get home.
It pleases everyone because you can hold back a bowl of the mac and cheese for your finicky eater (grandsons!). You can also opt to put peppers on half for the non-pepper eaters.
And, this makes quite a bit and keeps really well for lunch the next day. Everyone’s happy!
