Step-By-Step Instructions
First, in a large skillet you’ll cook your red onion, peppers and garlic until softened.
Next up, you’ll add your Italian sausage and cook until no longer pink.
Next up, you’ll melt your butter and then whisk in your flour and cook for one minute. You’ll slowly whisk in milk, cream, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and cook until thickened.

A Few Cook’s Notes for Supreme Pizza Mac and Cheese
I used a mild Italian sausage, but if you like things spicy by all means use hot Italian sausage.
You can use your favorite jarred marinara for this recipe. I used a roasted garlic marinara.
We enjoy our supreme pizza with red onion, but you can also use yellow onion.
