Servings: 8
Ingredients

Instructions
- If the mac n cheese isn't already made, make it now per the package instructions.
- Add ground beef, chopped onion, and Montreal Steak Seasoning to a skillet and cook until the meat is browned and onions are soft. Drain grease.
- If you desire the optional bacon, cook it while cooking the other toppings until it's crispy. Drain grease and crumble bacon.
Pizza Assembly
- Roll out pizza dough and place on floured pizza pan. (Try my Perfect Pizza Dough)
- Spread beer cheese all over dough as the pizza base. Try my recipe here.
- Add the mac n cheese to the crust and sprinkle with garlic salt. Follow with the shredded colby jack, then the ground beef mixture and optional bacon.
To Cook
- Option 1: My favorite option. Prep/Turn on a smoker to 450° and smoke the pizza for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, and the crust is crisp and golden.
- Option 2: Bake in a preheated oven at 450° for 10-15 minutes until cooked to the specifications in option 1. (my oven's sweet spot seems to be around 12 minutes).
- Once cooked, add any of the optional toppings you desire. Slice and enjoy!
