Cheesy Pizza Macaroni

A couple of years ago, My Mandy sent me this recipe.  She had made it for her family and it became a favorite of her family.  Now, I put the recipe in with my other recipes, thinking that I would try it later.  Well, the later never came.  That is until my Lexie and Gabrielle wentwith me one summer to get the granddaughters.   One night she made this and wow, it was really great.  Even my girls loved it.


So when Mandy and her husband came to Al to get their girls, she made it one night.
That was in July and since then, I have made it twice.  The other night, when I was making it I decided that I really should share this.  It is so easy and it would go great with a salad or even just garlic bread.  It also, freezes well.


You will need 1 - 2 lbs of ground beef
2 packages of Kraft macaroni
2 cans of pizza sauce
2 cups of grated cheese of your choice - I use colby or mozzarella.  Mandy gets the pizza cheese and that works great.




Brown the beef and drain.  Fix the cheese macaroni according to the box.  Mix the beef and macaroni together.  Now I don't normally use all of the macaroni.  It is really up to you.  Do you want alot of meat or macaroni?  Then stir in the pizza sauce.  Pour into a 13 x 9 pan.  Add the cheese and place in the oven at 350 for about 30 minutes.  Then dig in and enjoy. 

* Once I added the miniature pepperoni (full bag) and the girls liked it this way also.  I think that I would like to add some bell pepper, olives, and onions to mine.  I will need to make mind separate from the girls, though.
