Deluxe Baked Macaroni and Cheese

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 30 min. Bake: 25 min. YIELD: 12 servings.
I've been cooking and baking for many years, but I've only recently begun creating my own recipes. By adding diced ham, tomatoes, several cheeses and a hint of Dijon mustard, I turned this super creamy mac and cheese into the ultimate comfort food. —Kathy Yarosh, Apopka, Florida
