Hammy Cheese

1lb. Smoked Ham (find these by the bacon), dice
2 lb. pasta (shells & rotini are a few faves)
16 oz. Shredded Cheese, we like Jack & Cheddar
1/4 cup milk
Salt
Pepper
Season-All (or Old Bay seasoning if you are from the Mid-Atlantic/East Coast)
2-4 TBsp. butter
1/4 cup (homemade) bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta until just tender. Drain. Dice ham, add to pasta & mix in large bowl. Butter the bottom of baking dish. Mix cheese & milk in a bowl, pour over pasta & ham. Mix in salt & pepper to taste. Place mixture into buttered baking dish. Sprinkle with season-all (or old bay), then bread crumbs & finally a pat or 2 of the butter.Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-40 minutes depending on your oven. This makes enough for 2 dinners for 4 people.
