Easy Ham and Noodles

This is one of my quick and easy recipes. You know, when you KNOW their is one of "those" night coming up and you won't have much time to cook. It literally only takes 20 minutes to prepare and better yet, only 10 grams of fat! Much better than fast food!

1 can (14 oz.) chicken broth
1 cup water
3 cups uncooked dumpling egg noodles (5 oz.)
2 boxes (10 0z. each) frozen broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and cheese flavored sauce
2 cups cubed (1/2 inch) cooked ham

In saucepan, heat broth and water to boiling and add noodles. Cook noodles until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. DO NOT DRAIN.
Meanwhile, cook veggies as directed on box.
Gently stir veggies in cheese sauce and ham into noodle mixture. Cook 3-4 minutes until hot, stirring occasionally.

Ashlee side note: Remember not to over stir, as you will end up with broken noodles and mush. ;0) If you don't have chicken broth, it's ok, just use water, but the broth does add a lot of flavor. I also just buy those packages of pre-diced ham from the supermarket. Already cooked, already chopped. No work involved. That's how this turns into a quick meal. The kids like it too!
