Ingredients:

Serving

2 tbsp butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 1/2 cups nonfat milk
2 cups reduced-fat cheddar cheese
8 oz elbow macaroni, cooked (or other small pasta)
1/8 cup breadcrumbs
6 oz ham steaks, cubed

Directions:

1. Melt butter in medium sized saucepan. Stir in flour, salt, pepper (I usually make mine without pepper, as I prefer it that way), and dry mustard. Cook a minute or two on medium heat.
2. Gradually stir in milk. Stir constantly at medium heat for 10 minutes, or until thick. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheese. Stir in hot cooked elbow macaroni and cubed ham.
4. Pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese over top, and then sprinkle bread crumbs.
5. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
