Ham and Mac Bake image

I love this recipe because it uses up some 'stuff' left over in my kitchen. The sweet of the apples lends loads of flavor to the somewhat salty ham. You may want to watch the mustard if you are not used to a pretty strong mustard over-taste. Enjoy

Categories     Pasta

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 1/2 oz macaroni, dry
1/4 c butter
1/4 c flour
2 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp mustard or less if you no not care for a pretty strong mustard flavor
1/4 tsp salt
2 c milk
2 c ham, cooked and cubed
2 apples, peeled and sliced
2 tsp butter
1/4 c plain bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Cook macaroni in boiling salted water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes; drain. Any dry pasta will do if you do not have macaroni on hand. Pennini works well.
  • 2. In large saucepan melt the 1/4 cup butter; blend in flour, brown sugar, mustard, salt and pepper.
  • 3. Add milk all at once; cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
  • 4. Stir in cooked macaroni, ham and apple slices.
  • 5. Turn mixture into a 2 quart casserole.
  • 6. Sprinkle bread crumbs and dot 2 tsp butter over casserole.
  • 7. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for about 35 minutes.

I'm allergic to ham. Is there a substitute I can use?

This recipe is way too complicated. There are too many steps and ingredients.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my ham and mac bake turned out runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dish was a bit too dry for my liking. I would add more milk or cream to the mac and cheese sauce.

I found this recipe to be a bit too salty. I would use less ham next time.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some chopped onions and garlic to give it more flavor.

I've tried many ham and mac bake recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of Dijon mustard gives it a tangy kick that really elevates the flavor.
