“This easy meal-in-one dish is a real crowd-pleaser on chilly nights," says Nancy Foust of Stoneboro, Pennsylvania. "Because it bakes in two pans, you could freeze one for later, depending on your needs. It’s creamy, and filling and has a wonderful ham-and-cheese flavor.”

My husband saw this recipe in the Nov. 2012 issue of Country Extra & requested that I make it. We had it for supper & it was a hit!

This is a great recipe. I have been looking for a Mac and cheese recipe that is not dry and I found this one. Very good!

I made this for dinner last night and it was outstanding. My husband had thirds and I went for seconds. My 83 year old mother (who hasn't eaten for two days) had a bowl ful. Thank you.

I've made a similar dish, and along with the fresh broccoli, I also put in fresh cut-up cauliflower and kielbasa. I use a whole block(cut-up)of velveeta cheese along with the cheddar cheese. I do not use mustard or salt, but do use black pepper. My co-workers always ask for this dish at potlucks.

I used frozen brocolli and 5 cups of milk all I had turned out very good and we froze the smaller one for later.
