Ingredients

  • 1 lb small shell pasta
  • 1 10.75 oz can broccoli cheese soup
  • 1 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup half and half
  • 1/2 tsp seasoned salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground mustard
  • 2 cups diced ham
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese divided

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package instruction. Set aside.
  • To a large skillet set over low heat, add the rest of the ingredients- except for one cup of the shredded cheese. Stir to evenly combine. Once heated through, remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the prepared pasta.
  • Add the pasta mixture to a 9x13" baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
  • Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the rest of the cheese evenly out over top, and bake another 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve & enjoy!

Notes

  • Use full fat sour cream and half and half for the richest results.
  • You can use any kind of cheese you'd like or even use a mix of cheeses. Swiss would work well in it.
  • Up the veggie factor by adding in peas or even steamed chopped broccoli florets.
  • You can adjust the seasonings according to your preferences.
