Pepperoni Pizza Mac & Cheese

To finish out the week, I had to share this yummy macaroni and cheese that my kids were just raving about. I've gotten to the point where I've ruined many foods I once liked because the homemade version is so much better. This includes chicken nuggets, pizza rolls, macaroni and cheese, and about a million other things. It's ridiculous, but I don't think I can get too busted up about it because it means 1) I'm really good at making food and 2) making things homemade means I have way more control of the quality of ingredients.

This recipe is very simple and can be made in about the same time as a box mix. BUT and that's a big but (and of course, I like those, I can't deny)...this is so much better than the box mix. If your kids are anything like mine...or if you don't have kids and you just love pizza...then you (and your kids, if you have them) are SURE to love this macaroni and cheese.
