Best Ever Mac & Cheese

This is not a super cheap meal, nor is it for those who are on a diet. But man is it GOOD!

Ingredients:
12 oz. Wide egg noodles
3 C. Whipping cream
1 1/2 C. Whole Milk
1 T. Flour
1/2 t. Salt
1/4 t. Black pepper
1/2 T. Italian seasoning
1-8 oz. Bag Italian 5 cheese blend
4 oz. Cooked diced ham (optional, and yes, you may add more or less.)

Directions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9 in. pan, set aside. Cook noodles in salted water until tender, but still a little firm, approx. 5 min. Drain.
Whisk cream, milk, flour, and spices. Mix in Cheese 1/2 the bag of cheese. Add noodles until coated. Pour into baking dish. Sprinkle noodles with ham and remaining cheese. Bake until cheese melts, and sauce bubbles, approx 15-20 min. Let stand 10 min. before serving.

I'm not kidding when I say that this is so good. My Grandma use to make this when we lived with her. 4 of us would finish off the entire pan. The leftovers are great to. I always like to add extra milk to the leftovers so that they are still juicy. Enjoy!

Fritatta

I'm a big fan of breakfast for dinner, we probably have it once a week. I was going to make omelets last night but the thought of making several was not appealing. Thus, the glorified omelet, or fritatta!

5 or 6 eggs
1 Cup Milk
1 Cup shredded Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste
Whatever you'd normally put in an omelet. This is what I had on hand:
Diced ham as much as you like
1 Green onion stalk diced
1 small tomato diced and seeded
handful of spinach chopped
Butter

Whip eggs and milk in a large bowl, add half of the cheese and salt and pepper to taste. In large oven safe skillet melt butter (or just use cooking spray). Add ham and vegetables to skillet and saute until soft. Pour egg mixture over top. Let the eggs cook until mostly set, top will still be wet. Make sure to lift the edges and let the egg run under to cook. Once it's almost set sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and put under broiler in oven for about 2 minutes to finish the cooking and to melt the cheese.
Cut into wedges and serve with hashbrown potatoes and fruit! It turned out really yummy, even my 2 year old was eating spinach!

Cheesy Potato and Ham Casserole

We made this for dinner the other night and it was GOOD!

Bottom Layer:

32 ounces- frozen hashbrowns (cubed)
1 tablespoon- dried chopped onion
1 teaspoon- salt
8 ounces- sour cream
1 can- cream of chicken soup
2 cups- grated cheddar cheese
2 cups- chopped cook ham (we just bought the chopped ham in a package)

Combine these ingredients in a greased 4 1/2- 6 quart crockpot.

Top Layer:

1/4 cup butter (melted)
1 box of pork stove top stuffing

Sprinkle stuffing mix over top, drizzle the butter over that. Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours or on high for 2 1/2-4 hours. This makes about 10-12 servings.

We served green beans, salad, and rolls with this. ENJOY!
