Creamy Mac-and Cheese Ham Bake

Ingredients

• 1 7.5 oz package Macaroni and Cheese dinner mix
• 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked ham or chicken (I used some deli ham that we had)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup cream-style cottage cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
• 1 tbsp butter; melted

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375. Prepare macaroni and cheese mix according to package directions, except do not add salt and water. Stir in ham, 1 cup cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, onion, and pepper. Transfer mixture to an ungreased 1- 1 1/2 quart baking dish.
2. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and stir in melted butter. Sprinkle over macaroni mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese.
3. Bake, uncovered, about 30 min or until heated through and crumbs are golden. Makes 4-6 servings.
