Easy Mac n Cheese recipe

[Patty3]

I just found out today that I have been elected to host a family gathering on Saturday. I was thinking about a baked ham and mac n cheese as one of the sides. Does anyone have an easy recipe that they just love? Thanks.

My DS loved Cracker barrel mac and cheese so much I had to come on here to find the recipe You may find its still here is you search. I can't remember the exact details (Dis-ing at work ) but the cheese sauce is made with part stock/bouillon and part milk, so its a bit lighter. Basically cook the pasta, mix with the sauce (and you can stir in ham at this point), shove it in a dish, top with more grated cheese and bake . You can prepare in advance and cover with cling film until ready to bake if necessary.
