The girls made dinner for us this week.  They wanted to try a casserole so Jake found a recipe from Better Homes & Garden and adapted it for the girls.   They got the items out of the fridge and pantry, measured, and added them to the casserole. I did help with getting it in and out of the oven but otherwise they put the casserole together on their own.  It turned out really well!

Ham & Pasta Casserole:

• 1 1/2 cups Milk
• 1 can Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup (10 3/4 oz)
• 2 cups diced cooked Ham
• 1 cup dried Elbow Macaroni
• 1 can sliced Mushrooms (4 oz)
• 1/2 cup chopped Onions
• 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar Cheese

Grease a 8 x 8  pyrex dish and preheat oven for 375 degrees.  Mix the milk and cream of chicken soup.  Stir in the ham, macaroni, mushrooms, and onions.  Cover the casserole and bake for 40 minutes or until the noodles are tender.  Sprinkle the cheese over the top of the casserole and bake uncovered for 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.  Let stand for 10 minutes prior to serving.
