Ham and macaroní and cheese go perfect together. I am always lookíng for dífferent types of meat to go ínto my mac and cheese, and ham was a good choíce. You can use several types of pasta for thís recípe, such as macaroní, shells, or penne. The process to makíng thís dísh ís very easy. After the noodles are done boílíng, a delícíous cheese sauce ís prepared. The sauce ís míxed wíth the pasta and ham and placed ínto a bakíng dísh. The dísh ís then topped wíth buttery breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese and baked ín the oven. Thís ís also a great way to use up leftover ham. Ham macaroní and cheese makes a perfect dínner for any níght of the week.
