Cheese sauce recipe:
1 teaspoon butter
a large pinch of flour
1 qt. heavy cream
4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
6 slices yellow American cheese
1 cup diced ham
Boil water for 1 pound of pasta, elbows or shells preferred
in a medium sauce pan on low heat, melt butter and flower, don't let the mixture burn
slowly add heavy cream, in about 1/2 cup increments and heat slowly
when all the cream is in the pan, add the cheddar and American cheese
stir until all the cheese is melted and is somewhat smooth
continue stirring so the cheese doesn't burn
Drain pasta, and mix cheese sauce, and ham in large saucepan until thoroughly mixed
Heat oven to 350 degrees
Pour mixed pasta into a large dish, one that would be used for cooking lasagna
Sprinkle Italian style bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese on top, bake for approx. 25 minutes or until the edges are boiling
Enjoy, my kids love this recipe, usually no leftovers
