Ingredients

 * Two, 15-ounce cans of diced tomatoes
 * 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
 * 2 tablespoons of gluten free flour mixture
 * 2 cups of milk
 * 1-1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (6 ounces)
 * 1 teaspoon of salt
 * 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
 * 8 ounces of gluten free macaroni
 * 2 cups of cooked ham cut into cubes (optional)

Directions

 * In medium saucepan, melt butter or margarine on low heat. Stir in flour until it forms a paste. Bring to medium-high heat. Add cheese. Stir constantly until melted.

Cook 8 ounces of gluten free macaroni until just done. Do not overcook as the noodles will receive further cooking in the oven.

Place cooked macaroni into greased 2-quart casserole dish. Add ham.

Pour over cheese sauce. Stir all together gently.

Bake in 350-degree oven for 30 minutes.

NOTE:

If you would like to freeze your Macaroni and Cheese for later cooking, mix cheese sauce and pasta together in a freezer safe container. Freeze. When ready to cook, thaw Macaroni and Cheese thoroughly. Then bake as directed.
