I created this recipe to use up leftover ham. My Dutch son-in-law loves my regular mac & cheese and he LOVES this one using Dutch Gouda (we pronounce it goo-dah, but I'm told that it's actually closer to how-dah). It's really just fancy mac & cheese with vegetables. I serve it with a green salad and french bread.
