Ingredients

1 package boxed Kraft Dinner (Mac & Cheese)
1 tablespoon butter
1/3 cup cream (or half and half)
1 pound cooked ham steak, diced (can subsitute with 3 cans flaked ham)
10 ounces canned cream of mushroom soup (can substitute with canned cream of chicken instead)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Remember to undercook the pasta just slightly so that it’s not overcooked. It will cook a bit more when you bake it in the oven.
Mix the cooked pasta with the enclosed powdered cheese packet, butter, and cream until well combined.
Next, add the canned cream of mushroom soup and groudn black pepper. Stir into the macaroni and cheese mixture until well combined.
Add in the diced ham and stir that through as well.
Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan or individual ramekins like I’m using with non-stick cooking spray.
Transfer the pasta mixture to the pan or ramekins and gently flatten out the top.
Top the mixture with the grated cheddar cheese and pop it into your preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and plate. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
