When I first saw a version of this recipe in 150 Recipes in a 13 x 9 Pan, I was intrigued. We love pizza EVERYTHING (no, really check out all our pizza recipes here), but could you really make a pizza with a mac and cheese crust?! Yes, yes you can.
The trick is adding a little egg to the mac and cheese to let it bake up like a crust! And, the results are a super fun and yummy new kind of pizza!

Ingredients for Crock Pot Pizza with Mac and Cheese Crust
- 7.5 oz Package of Macaroni and Cheese – Prepared (We used Kraft.)
- 2 Eggs- Beaten
- 15 oz Pizza Sauce
- 2 Cups Shredded Mozzarella- Divided
- Pepperoni- To taste
How to Make Pizza with a Mac and Cheese Crust in a Slow Cooker
- Beat two eggs in a large bowl.
- If your prepared mac and cheese is hot, temper your eggs before adding the mac and cheese by adding a few spoon fulls of the mac and cheese one at a time to the bowl with the eggs. A few spoonfuls will help warm the eggs up gradually so the hot mac and cheese does cook the eggs on contact.
- Once the eggs are tempered, add the rest of the mac and cheese and mix well.
- Pour mixture into the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker. We used this one because we love the non-stick surface.
- Carefully spoon pizza sauce over the top of the mixture evenly.
- Top with 1 1/2 cups of cheese and then top with pepperoni.
- Sprinkle on remaining cheese.
- Cook on high for 90 min- 2 hours until fully set.
Notes on Crock Pot Pizza with Mac and Cheese Crust
- This recipe is altered from one found in 150 Recipes in a 13 x 9 Pan.
- I have made this in the oven and in the crock pot. I actually prefer the crock pot because the crust is a bit thicker because the bottom of the crock is smaller than the 9 x 13 pan. For that reason, I am not sure I would like this recipe as well in the Casserole Crock (a larger bottom) as I do a regular 6 quart slow cooker.
- You can use whatever pizza toppings you would like. We have made it with sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers and olives in addition to the plain pepperoni version.
- As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
