This summer we visited my husband’s former college town and went to a pizza place called Pizza Doctor. They have an “exploratory surgery” dinner buffet which features some very different and strange pizzas. One of our favorites from that night was a Mac and Cheese Pizza. While I was eating it, I was thinking…”I could make this!” It seemed like it would be easy to recreate… and now that school has started I really need a list of simple dinners at the end of busy days.
Walmart is really in the fall saving spirit with so many items on rollback… So, even better than the fact that this is a simple dinner, is the fact that it’s one that won’t break the bank either. I picked up several KRAFT products at Walmart to make this yummy mac and cheese pizza recipe. KRAFT Barbecue Sauce, Ranch Dressing, Macaroni and Cheese Dinner and shredded cheese are all you need to make this meal. It was easy shopping too, the Ranch and BBQ are in the dressing aisle and the pasta is just around the corner. Walmart’s low prices come in handy when money can be tight around the 1st and 15th of each month, this whole meal can be made for under $20!
I ended up making two versions… one for the kids, and one for my husband and I. The adult version has sauteed red onions and a dash of black pepper to kick up the flavor just a notch… SO good… {we barely let the kids have any!}
Here’s the recipe, with two versions:

The Mac and Cheese Pizza is pretty good just by itself, but I REALLY loved it with the dipping sauces… and my kids loved the dipping! {They will eat anything if there is dip!}
This dinner didn’t last long around our house, and with great rollback savings at Walmart we will be having this again soon. What will you make with the great deals on KRAFT food at Walmart?
