Cheesy Macaroni Ham Bake #SP5

Official Contest Entry: Simply Potatoes 5Fix. I created this recipe on my own. Growing up, my father was a creative cook, and I always loved his home made mac and cheese that contained diced green pepper. The other ingredients that my recipe contains were added because I love seasonings, along with the combined flavors with quality baked ham.
