I would make this recipe again but alter it. It was extremely cheesy, you could probably cut the amount of velveta to 1/2 to 3/4 of what it calls for. Liked the idea of the ham and asparagus in it though.

I would definitely make this recipe again, as my family loves mac and cheese with ham. The only part I'd change would be to replace the asparagus with broccoli, as some of my family is allergic to asparagus. Other than that, this recipe is awesome and so easy to make, it's a keeper for sure.

I see a lot of recipes using 7oz box of macaroni. How many cups is that? I have never seen a 7oz box of macoroni. Thanks.

Made it for our Church pot luck. Everyone loved it! I didn't have asparagus so used mixed vegetables. Already have been asked for the recipe.
