Ingredients
8 ounces of macaroni
1 teaspoon salt(for the water)
1 cup or box frozen corn
1/2 chopped onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 tablespoon regular flour
1 1/2 cups warm whole milk
6 ounces shredded cheese
4 ounces diced ham
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Boil 8 ounces of macaroni in water to which you have added 1 teaspoon salt. When the mac is al dente add 1 cup (box) of frozen corn. Let it sit.
Fry 1/2 chopped onion in the oil and butter and when the onions are cooked add salt and pepper to taste and 1 rounded tablespoon flour and stir a couple of minutes then slowly stir in 1 1/2 cups warm milk and cook over low heat until it is saucey. Then add 4 ounces diced ham, and 6 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (any cheese works). (fyi-You can buy the ham and cheese already diced and already shredded)
Drain the mac and corn and put it into a 2 quart heavy duty throw away aluminum baking pan. Pour the cheese mixture over the macaroni and corn mixture and stir in thoroughly. If you like sprinkle the top with red pepper. Bake for 15 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Then just warm up again at the tailgate.
