Awesome Italian Macaroni and Cheese Recipe

  • 6 cubes chicken bouillon
  • 2 quarts water
  • 1 (8 ounce) package macaroni
  • 10 ounces diced smoked ham
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
  2. Dissolve chicken bouillon cubes in water in a large pot; bring to a boil. Cook macaroni in the boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain.
  3. Layer about half the macaroni in the bottom of the prepared baking dish; top with about half the diced smoked ham. Repeat layers.
  4. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, salt, and white pepper together in a bowl; pour over the noodle and ham layers. Top everything with Cheddar cheese.
  5. Bake in preheated oven until the cheese is melted and browning around the edges, about 35 minutes.
