Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound elbow pasta
4 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
4 cups milk
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, (optional)
1 1/4 cups shredded yellow cheddar cheese (5 ounces)
1 1/4 cups shredded white cheddar cheese (5 ounces)
8 ounces ham, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 slices white sandwich bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente; drain and reserve. Meanwhile, in a 5-quart heavy pot, melt butter over medium heat.
