Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked corkscrew noodles, chopped ham, broccoli flowerets, and chopped peppers.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Miracle Whip salad dressing and milk until smooth.
  4. Pour the dressing mixture over the noodle and vegetable combination, stirring gently until everything is evenly coated.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.
  8. Alternatively, cover the dish with microwave-safe plastic wrap and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through.
  9. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
