Tips:

Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your casserole a more complex flavor. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
Cook the noodles al dente. This will prevent them from becoming mushy in the casserole.
Don't overcook the ham. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
Use a 9x13 inch baking dish. This will ensure that the casserole is not too thick or too thin.
Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to set.
