Macaroni & Cheese

This recipe is my variation on what is rumored to be President Reagan's favorite dish. My rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Macaroni & Cheese

8 oz elbow macaroni
1 Tbsp olive oil
6 oz ham, cubed
1 egg
1 tsp butter, melted
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1 cup milk
3 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Cook macaroni as directed on package. Drain.

In a small pan, heat the olive oil and then add ham. Cook until ham is browned on all sides.

In a large bowl, beat egg. Add butter, dry mustard, salt, and milk. Mix well.

Add noodles, ham, and all but 1/3 cup cheese. Stir until well-combined.

Spray a medium-large baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in noodle mixture. Top with remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned on top.

Let sit for five minutes before serving. Serves 4-6.
