Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Make the mac 'n' cheese: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, salt, and pepper until smooth. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and bubbling, about 5 minutes. Add the Happy Belly Cheddar and stir until melted, 2-4 minutes.
- Fold the cooked macaroni into the cheese sauce until well coated.
- Fold in the eggs and bread crumbs until incorporated.
- Grease a 16-inch pizza pan with nonstick spray. Spoon the mac 'n' cheese onto the pan and smooth in an even layer, pressing gently on the top and sides to release any air bubbles and tidy up the edges.
- Bake the mac 'n' cheese crust for 25-30 minutes, until browned on top and holding together.
- Remove the crust from the oven and spread the pizza sauce evenly over the top, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Top with the Happy Belly Mozzarella, pepperoni, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
- Return the pizza to the oven for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned to your liking.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle the red pepper flakes and Italian seasoning on top, if using. Let the pizza rest in the pan for 6-8 minutes, until cool enough to handle.
- Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and cut into 10-12 slices.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses: Combining different types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan, creates a more complex and flavorful mac and cheese.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is the best choice for mac and cheese, as it will hold its shape and texture in the dish.
- Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that helps to thicken the cheese sauce. This will prevent the sauce from being too thin and runny.
- Season the sauce: Don't forget to season the cheese sauce with salt, pepper, and other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Use a cast iron skillet: A cast iron skillet is a great choice for making mac and cheese pizza, as it evenly distributes heat and creates a crispy crust.
- Top with your favorite toppings: After the mac and cheese pizza is baked, you can top it with your favorite toppings, such as bacon, diced tomatoes, or green onions.

Nikki's Mac N Cheese Pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
