A flavorful casserole with diced ham, macaroni, cheese, sour cream, and chopped vegetables.

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green bell pepper (about half of a small bell pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped pimiento-stuffed olives
  • 4 ounces (1 cup) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups diced cooked ham
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs, tossed with a few teaspoons melted butter

Preparation:

Cook and drain macaroni, following package directions; place in a large mixing bowl. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium low heat. Add chopped onion, mushrooms, and chopped green bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until onion is softened and mushrooms are browned. Add skillet mixture to macaroni with chopped olives, shredded cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper, ham, and milk; stir gently to mix thoroughly. Transfer to a shallow 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over the top of macaroni and ham casserole; bake at 350° for 25 to 35 minutes, or until ham casserole is bubbly and breadcrumbs are lightly browned.
