Macaroni & Cheese

8 oz elbow macaroni, cooked

1/2 lb shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 c butter

1/4 c flour

2 c milk

1 tsp salt

1/8 tsp pepper

1 1/2 c chopped ham (deli chipped ham works great too)

Melt butter, take off heat and add flour. Slowly add milk and seasonings. Bring to a boil, let boil one minute.

Put chopped ham in colander before draining noodles (this will warm up the ham if its been in the fridge). Put half of noodles/ham in greased casserole dish and top with half of cheese. Repeat. Pour sauce over top and sprinkle with a little cheese. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.

Personal Variation: We were out of elbow macaroni so I used up what we had
