Ham & Macaroni Casserole

Here's a tasty way to use leftover ham.

• 2 cups elbow macaroni
• 1 box frozen broccoli cuts, thawed
• 1-1/2 cups cubed, cooked ham
• 6 oz. ( 1-1/2 cups ) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 1-1/2 cups French-fried onions, divided
• 1 can (10-1/2 oz.) condensed cream of celery soup
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp. pepper

Preparation -
Cook the macaroni according to package directions; drain. Drain the thawed broccoli. Spray a shallow baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Stir the cooked macaroni, thawed broccoli, cubed ham, 3/4 cup grated cheddar, and 3/4 cup French-fried onions together in a bowl. Stir in the cream of celery soup, milk, garlic powder and pepper. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated oven at 350º for 30 minutes. Scatter the remaining 3/4 cup cheddar and the remaining 3/4 cup French-fried onions on top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
