Mac and Cheese Pizza

The garlic sauce on this pizza is amazing -- it alone makes it a worthwhile meal: the meat and cheese are just a bonus.

Yield: 1 large pizza

Ingredients

• 1 large pizza crust
• White garlic sauce
• 2 tbsp butter
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp flour
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp oregano
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 12 oz. ground sausage
• 1 box macaroni & cheese, prepared according to package directions
• 3 oz. grated mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. If making the pizza crust from scratch, pre-bake it according to recipe directions.
2. To make the white garlic sauce, melt the butter in a small sauce pan.  Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
3. Add the flour, pepper, salt, and oregano.  Whisk together to form a thick mixture.  Add the milk.  Continue cooking over low heat, whisking occasionally, until it has thickened.  Add the Parmesan and whisk to melt.
4. Cook the sausage in a large skillet until browned.  Drain the fat.
5. To assemble the pizza, spread garlic sauce on the pre-baked pizza crust.  Top with prepared macaroni and cheese, and then top with sausage.  Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
6. Bake at 425°F for 10 minutes.
7. Let stand for 3-4 minutes before slicing and serving.
