October is all about the leaves turning red and kids running around the neighbourhood wearing outrageous costumes, trick-or-treating, and.. Pizza! The entire month of October is dedicated to this ubiquitously loved cheesy, saucy, fast food.
October is celebrated as National Pizza Month, mainly in the United States and in many parts of Canada. While you may not need the excuse of it being the pizza month to divulge in a cheesy pizza, why not use it to experiment with some easy-to-cook homemade pizza recipes?
Macaroni and Cheese Pizza
All you need for this easy-to-make pizza are milk, cheese, pizza base, olive oil and grated cheese for toppis. You start by boiling the macaroni and adding 3 slices of American cheese to 1/4 cup of milk to make a cheese sauce. Stir the sauce over low heat until melted.
Brush pizza crust with olive oil and top it with the cooked macaroni and add cheese on top. Pour the melted cheese sauce over it and bake the pizza at 220 degrees Celsius for 10-12 minutes and cut it up into slices and serve this delicious dish hot.
Easy Mushroom and Tomato Pizza
The main ingredients for this simple pizza are three mushrooms, a handful of cherry tomatoes, pizza sauce, cheese and a pizza base.
Chop the mushroom into slender pieces and the tomatoes into halves, and set them aside before spreading pizza sauce evenly on the pizza base. Sprinkle shredded cheese lavishly over the sauce and decorate with the toppings already set aside.
Pour a little bit of the sauce over the toppings as well and pop it into the oven, which has been pre-heated at 180 degree Celsius and leave it at 220 degree Celsius for about 20 minutes.
Loaded Baked Potato Pizza
You should take a cheat day from diet plans when you you bake this delicious pizza at home.
Start making the pizza by pouring some melted butter on cooked, diced potatoes, before adding some garlic powder, salt, pepper and oregano and mix them together. Add the pizza sauce of your choice on the crust before sprinkling the prepared potato mix.

Taco Pizza
