Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Begin the cooking process of the macaroni- according to package directions; Add cubed ham (to warm) during the final minute or so of cooking the macaroni; Drain and set aside.
  2. While water is heating and macaroni is cooking, make your White Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add Flour and Salt, and cook about 1 minute, stirring constantly with a wire whisk until mixture is smooth and bubbly.
  3. Stir the Milk into the mixture and bring to a boil.
  4. Stirring constantly, boil mixture for 1 minute.
  5. Lower heat and cook until thickened, stirring regularly about 4-6 minutes.
  6. (Don't forget to add the ham to the macaroni as it is cooking!).
  7. Remove White Sauce from heat; Add cheese; stir until melted; Pepper to taste.
  8. Combine cheese sauce with the macaroni and ham in a bowl (or the macaroni pot); stir well.
  9. Serve with a yummy green vegetable on the side like green beans or asparagus.
  10. Enjoy!
  11. CHEF'S NOTES: You may use Medium/Mild Cheddar or maybe even PepperJack with this recipe as well; I would add a little kick with the milder cheeses by adding a clove of minced garlic, or by using salami pieces instead of ham- Yum!
