Ingredients

• Servings: 6

Recipe

• 1 boil pasta according to package in salted water.
• 2 for firmer pasta reduce boiling time by a few minutes.

• 5 place a layer of macaroni, enough to cover the bottom, in the casserole dish.
• 6 add a layer of cheese slices covering the macaroni.
• 7 very lightly season with salt and pepper (i actually skip this and we add salt and pepper to taste on our individual servings).
• 8 repeat these layers until you are out of pasta.
• 9 pour milk over the casserole until the milk almost reaches the top of the casserole dish (it doesn't take much because the dish is already full of pasta and cheese).

• 12 sometimes i add leftover ham chunks to the layers.
