2 (7.25 ounce) packages macaroni and cheese dinner mix (such as Kraft(R))
6 cups water
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 small green bell pepper, chopped
1 (14 ounce) jar pizza sauce
1 (3.25 ounce) package sliced pepperoni
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Reserving cheese packets, cook macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain and transfer macaroni to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle one reserved cheese packet over macaroni and top with Cheddar cheese.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, onion, and bell pepper in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease. Stir remaining reserved cheese packet into beef; spread beef mixture over macaroni.
4
Pour pizza sauce over beef mixture and top with pepperoni slices and mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle oregano and basil over cheese.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes.
