Knowing that I was going to have plenty of leftover ham from the innards of the bowls I decided to take steps in order to ensure that I'd have some way to use it. And by that I mean I saw that boxes of Kraft Macaroni & Cheese were on sale and thought to myself, "ham is kinda like hot dogs, so ham and mac & cheese should go together like hot dogs and mac & cheese". Thus the seeds for the third meal from that grocery store trip were planted.
Ingredients:
1 box Kraft Macaroni & Cheese
6 cups of Water
1/4 cup Butter
1/4 cup Milk
1 bag of Ham Scoopings
1 container Pepper/Onion Medley
1 container Beer Brat Onions
Instructions:
Bring water to a boil
Add ham and noodles
Cook for 7 minutes
Drain
Add cheese packet, butter, milk, and vegetables
Stir until even
This turned out more or less the way I'd planned it. When boiled into the macaroni, the ham was similar (though somewhat fancier) than the hot dogs it was intended to replace. The onions and peppers and onions weren't an intended part of this, but they worked well with it. The onions from the beer brats gave the dish a slight beery flavor, which worked in the end. They were still a bit on the hard side, but that was a problem with the earlier recipe, rather than this one.
