Ingredients
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of egg noodles, 1 cup of diced ham, 1/2 cup of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions.
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, usually about 7-10 minutes.
- While the noodles are cooking, in a separate skillet, add the diced ham over medium heat. Sauté the ham for about 5 minutes, allowing it to heat through and develop a slight golden color.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and milk. Using a whisk or a fork, blend them together until smooth and creamy. This mixture will serve as the base for your sauce.
- Once the noodles are cooked, drain them in a colander and return them to the pot. Immediately add the cream cheese and milk mixture to the hot noodles, stirring well to combine.
- Add the sautéed ham to the noodle and cream cheese mixture, stirring until evenly distributed. The heat from the noodles will help melt the cream cheese further and create a creamy sauce.
- Sprinkle in the shredded cheese and chopped green onions, mixing well until the cheese is melted and everything is well incorporated.
- Continue to cook on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a couple of minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve Christopher's Ham and Noodles Flichky warm, garnished with additional green onions if desired. Enjoy your meal!
Tips
- Use high-quality egg noodles for the best texture and flavor.
- Make sure to sauté the ham until it's slightly golden for extra depth of flavor.
- For a creamier sauce, use room temperature cream cheese that blends more easily.
- Don't overcook the noodles - aim for al dente to prevent a mushy texture.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like cheddar or Swiss for variety.
- Fresh green onions are key - they add a bright, fresh note to the dish.
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow flavors to meld together.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute low-fat cream cheese and milk.
