Easy Substitutions and Additions

If you don’t have ham, use leftover chicken or turkey. You can even use some rotisserie chicken or canned chicken if you would like.

For a Lent friendly meal, try stirring in some drained canned tuna. Or try your favorite proteins.

To make it a full meal, add a bag of frozen peas to the mix. Or add a bag of corn to make it like macaroni and corn casserole.

Even mixed frozen mixed vegetables would be a tasty addition. Of course, you can also serve it with any of your favorite vegetable side dishes instead of stirring them in.

You can also experiment with different cream of soups to change the flavor slightly. Or try using homemade cream of chicken soup if you don’t want to use the cans.

Can I make this macaroni bake ahead of time?

Yes! You can assemble the casserole in a baking dish up to one day before baking. Simply cover it with foil, refrigerate, and then bake it when you are ready.

How long can I store the leftovers?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The leftovers reheat well in the microwave.

  1. Can I use cubed hard cheddar cheese instead of Velveeta?

    1. I haven’t tried it in this recipe. I have used shredded cheddar in another no boil mac and cheese recipe with success though.
