I changed this recipe a bit by using Sam Mills Gluten Free noodles. It turned out great and still cooked in the same amount of time. This is such a simple and versatile dish. I will definitively be making it again and again.

I used ham and added bread crumbs on top. It would be much better with more sauce.

This is a very easy casserole that was perfect for a snowy evening. I didn't think there would be enough liquid for the uncooked macaroni, but it turned out to be just fine.
