Add cooked sliced mushrooms and a few chopped sundried tomatoes in place of the ham for a vegetarian option.

I use a lot of the 4 cheese sauce in various meals and find it really great, better that a white sauce.

Love macaroni cheese so tried this recipe and really loved it. My husband who doesn't eat mac cheese tried it and liked it too so that must be good. Easy to make, enjoyable and filling. Love it.
