Serves: 6-8
- 1 lb country ham slices or regular smoked ham in one piece (I just use whatever leftover ham we have on hand)
- 1 lb elbow macaroni (I use whole wheat)
- 2 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese (8 oz) (I use reduced fat)
- 1 cup sour cream (I use reduced fat)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup (I use 98% fat free)
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine, melted (I don’t use this when I make it)
- 1 cup dry plain bread crumbs
- 1 tsp diced onions or onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- salt and pepper to taste
- Pre-Heat oven to 400º.
- Bring 4 quarts water to boiling in large pot. Once water begins to boil,
- add macaroni to pot. Return water to boiling and cook 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the macaroni noodles are cooking, coarsely chop the ham.
- Drain macaroni.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine macaroni, ham, 1/2 of the cheese, sour cream, soup, onion powder, garlic salt, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Place the mixture in a 13X9 baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and then sprinkle with bread crumbs.
- Bake at 400º for 30 minutes or until heated through and top is golden brown.
- Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
