This is a great way to use leftover ham. I added onions, seasoning salt, and chopped green chilies.

Four out of five at my dinner table enjoyed this last night. I skipped adding the extra cheese on top ans added buttered breadcrumbs instead. The recipe was easily doubled. A nice treat!

I made this out of my "best loved recipes" cookbook. It is soooo good!! It's the best mac and cheese roux I have ever had. My husband is going to love it!! However I will add some vegetables next time to make it a complete rounded meal. :-)
