l Box Elbow Macaroni, cooked as directed on bag or box.

1pound ham, cubed or chopped as in photo below.
1 medium onion, diced
2. Saute green chilis, ham and onion till onion are translucent in about 2T olive oil, Coconut oil, or peanut oil.
Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
Then add
the sauteed ham, onions & green chili.
In
large saucepan, I make a rue with 2T Butter and 6T flour whisked in a
high heat pan, when slightly tan, add about 1C milk, stirring constantly
with a flat wooden spatula to get the rue off the bottom of the pan.
When it starts to bubble,turn the heat to med high, add the rest of the
milk. When the sauce starts to bubble again, Remove from heat. Stir
constantly and add the cheese, 2C at a time stirring in gently.
Return to med high heat and
boil to thicken. After that becomes thicker, add the sour cream and
mustard.Blend completely to meld all the flavors together.
Put macaroni into a large glass or metal rectangular pan. *we use a deep roasting pan for the larger doubled recipe.
Break apart any clumped macaroni and spread out evenly in the pan.
Pour Cheese Sauce over the entire pan and mix to completely coat the macaroni.
