One-Pot Creamy Ham & Broccoli Mac And Cheese #Recipe For Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System

We'd love it if you shared it!

Mac and cheese is a bit hit in our house, just like it is in many others. The cheesier and creamier it is, the better it is. It can be a perfect side, but it can also be a perfect main. I love to change it up by adding things when making it part of a main dish. Here I added both a vegetable and a meat, making it one yummy comfort food containing everything you need. Both hubby and my oldest loved it and had seconds and thirds. What little leftovers were left were gone the next day. It’s become a regular in our house. Here’s how I made it.
