For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with sautéed mushrooms or plant-based crumbles. Feel free to customize the pizza toppings with your favorites, such as olives, mushrooms, or sausage. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a splash of milk or cream to the macaroni before baking. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, cover the baking dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
