Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (16 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 (28 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes
6 tablespoons butter
¼ cup flour
1 quart half-and-half
2 cups chicken broth
4 cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded sharp white Cheddar cheese
fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 sleeve buttery round crackers (such as Ritz®), crushed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a baking dish.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes; drain, return macaroni to pot, and stir tomatoes into the macaroni. Cook over medium heat until the macaroni absorbs some of the liquid from the tomatoes, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir flour into melted butter and cook until bubbly, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly stream half-and-half and chicken broth into the butter mixture while stirring. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue to cook while stirring continually until thickened and bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Melt mild Cheddar cheese and sharp Cheddar cheese into the butter mixture one handful at a time, stirring to incorporate each addition before adding the next. Season the cheese mixture with pepper and pour over the macaroni; stir to coat pasta evenly. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and top with crushed crackers.
  • Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown and the liquid is bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Provided by Lorac

Categories     Ham

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups cooked ham, chopped
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
6 cups fresh white breadcrumbs
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Combine ham, mayo, and parsley.
  • In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, cheese and melted butter.
  • In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, place 1/3 of the tomatoes, top with 1/3 of the ham mixture, cover with 1/3 of the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Repeat process, creating 2 more layers.
  • Bake 45-50 minutes until golden brown and bubbling.
  • Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the taste of your bake. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes with a deep red color and no blemishes.
  • Use fresh herbs for added flavor: Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme can elevate the taste of your bake. Chop them finely and sprinkle them over the tomatoes before baking.
  • Don't crowd the baking dish: Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer in the baking dish. Overcrowding will prevent the tomatoes from cooking evenly and will result in a watery bake.
  • Bake until the tomatoes are tender: The baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your tomato slices. Bake until the tomatoes are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will also affect the flavor of your bake. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a flavor that complements the tomatoes. Mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan are all good options.
  • Serve warm: This bake is best served warm, straight out of the oven. You can garnish it with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.

Conclusion:

This tomato ham and cheese bake is a simple and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and cheesy goodness, this bake is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
