I needed a recipe to make for a funeral today, and since I had some leftover baked ham and also a package of egg noodles, used this recipe as a starting point. Like "1st time Mom at 43" I made a base with sauted onions, and also pan fried the ham pieces for additional flavor. I added 1 c. cheddar and 1 c. smoked gouda, as that's what I had in the frig. Then I mixed the white sauce with the egg noodles and added panko crumbs and parmesan cheese on top.
I also sprinkled some parsley for color, with instructions to bake the casserole for 30 min at 350. turned out great!

This was very delicious all around. I used panko instead of making breadcrumbs and it still came out great. I also used Jarlsberg in place of Gruyere.

This was super! I used cream for the dairy because I figure cheese is a guilty pleasure any way.

This was a great recipie. I used fat-free milk and low fat cheese. It was delicious. A great way to serve left over ham.

Just so- so for me. It wasn't bad tasting at all...but..I've had a lot better mac and cheese dishes. Try Ina Garten's Mac and Cheese. Mmmmmmm..

Good, but needed some spicing up. The gruyere and sharp cheddar cheese flavors seemed to cancel each other, leaving the dish rather bland. I added thyme, hot sauce, dehydrated onions, chives, and sea salt. Also more ham. Turned out great after I doctored it a bit.

Yummy! And I love the fact that I could replace the cream for broth and milk. I didn't feel the least bit guilty while eating it. Only thing I did different is I used all sharp cheddar. And the nutmeg and mustard gave great flavor. Even my kids liked it!

Wow, this was awesome and easy! I made some fun substitutions: I used bacon fat instead of butter and low fat milk to balance the naughtiness. I also used 1 cup sharp cheddar and 1 cup jalapeno jack cheese...delicious! I skipped the nutmeg. I will make this again and again!

I love to cook and refer to recipes from the food network frequently. I very rarely follow a recipe completely I like to ad-lib usually to spice things up. I noticed this recipe got some bad reviews (as well as good this recipe is perfect for giving you the measurements and ratios of liquid to flour to thicken-- the simple easy to forget things. This is a great recipe. I spiced it up by sautéing onions and garlic with a little fresh tyme with the butter before adding flour and using sharp cheddar only and beef stock and ham steak cubed because thats what I had in the kitchen and it turned out AWESOME! If it wasn't for my 13 month old daughter I would have added hot peppers of some sort. Use your imagination!
