Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 cups cooked macaroni
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup crispy bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Olive oil for brushing
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangular shape.
- Mix the filling: In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, shredded cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, softened cream cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until evenly distributed.
- Fill and roll: Spoon the mac and cheese filling onto the center of the pizza dough. Carefully roll the dough tightly around the filling and slice into 1-inch pieces.
- Bake to perfection: Arrange the pizza roll slices on a baking sheet, brush the tops with olive oil, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. You can also try other sauces like ranch or barbecue for added flavor. For presentation, sprinkle with chopped parsley or chives.
