Mother Corries Mac and Cheese

When I lived in Holland you would go to a cheese market to buy your cheese.  Once a week they would take all the left over bits of Gouda and Edam Cheese and grate them up and sell it in one pound bags.  This is my mother in laws recipe for mac and cheese and it is the only mac and cheese my kids will eat.

1 lb elbow macaroni

1 ham steak in small cubes

1 lb grated extra sharp cheddar

1/2 stick of margarine (I like Land O Lakes)

1/2 cup italian bread crumbs

Cook macaroni to aldente drain and return to pot add margarine and stir until completely melted - add cubed ham and stir well - add cheese and mix well.  Pour into a buttered baking dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs.  Bake covered for 1/2 hour at 350 degrees - remove foil and bake for another 15 - 20 minutes.

Yummy
