Ham Mac and Cheese is on the menu for tomorrow night. So glad you are feeling better Sue.
I agree, the more way to make macaroni and cheese the better! I am glad you are starting to turn the corner and feel better. It sounds like you had a long week.
Sue??? YUM! seriously.. Now on day 2 of this my hubby would pan fry it to get all the cheese crispy.. Oh goodness. I know what I’ll be making this week! Thanks for sharing at our Easter Leftover Makeover Recipe Party!
We love ham in mac and cheese. Your recipe looks delicious! Glad you are feeling better.
I made this for dinner tonight with our leftover ham. It’s really tasty, Sue! I didn’t brown the ham first (too lazy) and used garlic salt – will definitely make it again.
