Ham and Macaroni Casserole

Source: Allrecipes

Oh my goodness, we LOVED this simple yet hearty recipe! I whipped it up before I headed out for the day and tossed it in the oven when I came home. Partnered with a nice veggie and pre-made salad...dinner was done! I could easily see this recipe as being freezer friendly.  I thought the taste was like a very fancy mac and cheese dish and the Swiss cheese really stood out.

When it first came out of the oven, I thought it looked kind of dry, but it was anything but. The sauce was down below and everything blended well together.

So, here we go!:

Ingredients:

6 cups water

4 cups uncooked macaroni

1 onion, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

2 cups diced cooked ham

2 cups shredded Swiss

cheese

salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

 

Directions:

 

1) Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole.

 

2) Bring water to a full rolling boil in a pot.. Cook the macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes; remove from heat, cover, and let stand until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

 

3) Stir the macaroni, onion, sour cream, chicken soup, ham, and Swiss cheese together in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs.

 

4) Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling and the bread crumbs have browned, about 40 minutes.
