PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH NOODLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. In a large skillet or 4-quart saucepan heat the oil and butter over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add the ham and onion, and sauté for about 3 minutes. Add the peas and carrots, and toss well until coated and glistening with the butter and oil.
• 2. Stir in the evaporated milk, milk, sour cream, and mustard powder. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add both cheeses, and stir until cheese is melted and smooth. Remove from heat, cover, and set pan aside.
• 3. Cook the noodles according to package directions until al dente or about 6 or 7 minutes; do not over-cook. Drain the noodles, then add warm noodles to the creamy ham and cheese mixture. Heat everything through until bubbling. (If the sauce is too thick side, stir in a few tablespoons of milk to thin it out a bit). Season with salt and black pepper, and serve immediately while still hot.
