I think this comfort food dish will go great with this ham and some homemade green beans!
Start with a little bacon for drippings and elbow macaroni cooked al dente.
All the makings of a great sauce.
What should I do with the rest of this?! Mommy break!
This sauce takes a little patience.
Swimming in yummy cheesy sauce. And into a 375 oven for 25 minutes.
Sriracha is optional, but a must for me!
