Leftover ham?!?

Question

I was going to make homemade mac & cheese with the leftover ham tonight, and I cannot find my mac & cheese recipe book for the life of me! It has our favorite recipe in there!

Anyone have a good mac & cheese recipe? Mine called for 3 cans of evaporated milk, but I'll work with anything you all can find.

Thanks all!

Answer 1

Here is my homemade mac & cheese recipe:

2 T butter
2 T flour
1 c. milk
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
2 c. cooked pasta

melt the butter in a pan, add flour and mix. Cook for about 1 min. Add milk. Stir until thick, then add cheese. Stir until melted. Add pasta and serve.

You can add veggies or meat. I like to add frozen broccoli, califlower, and carrots with ham. It's really filling. If that doesn't work for you then go to allrecipes.com.

Answer 2

Try this one:

1/2 pound elbow macaroni
4 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
6 ounces evaporated milk
1 teaspoon salt
Fresh black pepper
10 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded

In a large pot of boiling, salted water cook the pasta to al dente and drain. Return to the pot and melt in the butter. Toss to coat. Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir into the pasta and add the cheese. Heat over low heat, stirring for 3 minutes or until creamy.

Answer 4

This is so easy and my family fave!
Prepare a cheap box of mac and cheese or two depending on how much you want. While it's still hot, add two big spoonfuls of sour cream, a couple of eggs beaten with 1/2 cup of cream or evap milk, some shredded cheddar. Then add other ingredients- see below. Bake in a casserole pan until hot in the middle so the eggs are cooked (they make it hold together and give a nice texture)
Other ingredients
-broccoli or spinach
-ham
-basil, oregano, and drained diced tomatoes from a can (tastes like pizza!)
-Green Chilies and chili powder
-Ranch dressing and Bacon bits
Or you can serve it plain for those picky eaters on your list

(all amounts are approximate and adjust according to how many boxes you make and according to taste.
