“My mother would prepare this yummy comfort food whenever there was leftover ham,” recalls Karen Kopp from Indianapolis, Indiana. “Horseradish gives it a nice tangy taste. I quickened the preparation by using process cheese instead of making a cheese sauce from scratch. Now my kids love it, too. This recipe can easily be doubled,” she adds.
Ingredients:
8 ounces uncooked medium pasta shells
1 pound process cheese (velveeta), cubed
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
1 package (8 ounces) frozen peas, thawed
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine cheese and milk. Cover and microwave on high for 2 minutes; stir. Heat 1-2 minutes longer or until smooth, stirring twice. Stir in ketchup and horseradish until blended.
2. Drain pasta and place in a large bowl. Stir in the ham, peas and cheese sauce.
3. Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until bubbly. Yield: 4 servings.
