Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
8 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup (1 can)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
8 ounces ziti
2 cups peas
4 cups diced ham
¼ cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F and grease 9x13 baking pan.
  • In a medium skillet on medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook for 2 minutes to make a roux. Add milk, slowly, whisking until combined. Add condensed cream of chicken soup and whisk until combined. Add cheese and mix until well combined and cheese is melted.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta 1 minute less than directed on package. Add peas for the last 2 minutes (for frozen, or 1 minute for fresh).
  • Drain and add pasta back to pot. Add diced ham and about ½ of sauce. Stir to combine. Add more sauce to desired consistency. (I had about ⅔ cup of sauce leftover).
  • Pour pasta into a 9x13 baking pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top of casserole and broil for about 3 minutes, or until browned.
