Ingredients

8 ounces medium noodles, cooked and drained
2 jars of ragu double cheddar cheese sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional)
1 lb cooked ham, cubed
3/4 cup finely crushed round cracker
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Cook noodles according to package directions.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl combine both jars of cheese sauce, sour cream, and pepper (if desired) and stir until well blended.
Drain the cooked noodles and gently stir into the cheese sauce until well coated.
Stir the ham into the noodle mixture.
Pour into an ungreased 3 quart casserole dish and set aside.
After melting the butter add the crushed crackers and mash with a fork until completely coated with butter.
Spread the buttered cracker crumbs evenly over top of the ham and noodle mixture.
Bake, uncovered, at 325 degrees for about 35 minutes or until cracker crumbs are evenly browned and the cheese sauce is bubbling through. Serve immediately.
