Ham Baked Broccoli Mac and Cheese

This classic macaroni and cheese casserole is rounded out with ham and broccoli for a hearty and delicious dish that will satisfy the whole family. Serve this all-in-one dish with homemade biscuits or yeast rolls for a complete meal. You may make the casserole with leftover cooked chicken or turkey or use a combination of ham and turkey or chicken. If your family isn't fond of broccoli, use steamed peas or mixed vegetables.

Ingredients :
  • 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups cooked ham, cubed
  • 10 oz. frozen broccoli, chopped and steamed until just tender and drained
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tbsp. butter or margarine
  • 2 cups elbow macaroni
Directions :
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a shallow 2-quart casserole. Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over low heat. Add flour, green onion, salt, mustard, and pepper; stir until well blended.
  3. Gradually stir in milk until blended. Bring to a boil; cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cooked broccoli, macaroni, ham, and cheese. Transfer mixture to the prepared casserole. Sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over completed casserole.
  5. Bake the casserole recipe in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
