Day 3 New "Alfredo" Recipe

My 5 year old daughter was sick today, and I didn't have much time to try involved recipes. My 14 year old son drank all the milk that I was planning to use in Alfredo Sauce for supper. Here is the new version which was quite tasty.

Alfredo Sauce

Ingredients:
1 can evaporated milk
1 pint Half and Half
8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. Cheddar and Monterey Jack combined cheese
1 cup chopped ham
1 16 oz. bag frozen broccoli
1 16 oz. bag egg noodles
Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fill large pot with water and bring to boil. While waiting for water to boil, combine evaporated milk, Half and Half, cream cheese in a large sauce pan. Heat until bubbly. Reduce heat under cheese sauce. Add Cheddar/Montery Jack cheese and ham, stirring frequently. The sauce will have be slightly orange in color.

When water in large pot boils, add noodles. Return to boil. Add broccoli, when noodles are almost done. After noodles are fully cooked, drain completely. Combine cheese sauce with noodles and serve with Parmesan cheese, if desired.

This sauce was really good. The kids all had second helpings.
