Loaded Mac N Cheese

My co-worker Anndrea gave me the idea for this recipe.  I paired it with my baked mac n cheese and added some extra cheese.  This is incredible and is a meal in itself!  Try this one soon!

Ingredients:

- 1 16oz box of Elbow Macaroni
- 2 cans of Cheddar Cheese Soup
- 1 soup can of Milk
- 5 slices of thick cut ham, cut into cubes
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 1/2 cups (give or take) of shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1.  Begin by heating a tablespoon of butter in a frying pan.  Toss in your ham, onion, and bell pepper and salt and pepper to taste.  Saute until browned and set aside.

2.  Now begin boiling your macaroni until done.  I don't salt my water because the ham is pretty salty as it is.  But you can if you want to.  Boil until done, drain, and add back into pan.

3.  Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  Toss your two cans of cheese soup into your macaroni along with your soup can of milk.  Stir.

4.  Now add in your ham/onion/green pepper mixture.  Toss in a half a cup of cheese and stir well to combine.

5.  Add macaroni mixture to a 13X9inch pan and spread evenly.  Sprinkle with about 2 cups of your shredded cheese and bake for 15 minutes.  After 15 minutes are up, leave under the broiler for additional 2 minutes until cheese is bubbly and browned.

Here's the final product....

Once you try this, you'll crave it!  Enjoy!
