Ingredients
  • 12 oz. large shell pasta
  • 3 tbsp. butter
  • 2 tbsp. flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked, diced ham
  • 1 cup cooked, shredded chicken
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet or pot, melt butter. Whisk in flour.
  4. Add milk and whisk until smooth. Reduce to a simmer. Stir in one cup of the Swiss cheese. Add salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. Once the cheese is melted into the sauce it should only cook for another minute or two, otherwise the sauce will become too thick.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together ham, chicken, and the remaining one cup of Swiss cheese.
  6. Spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread about ½ cup of the sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  7. Stuff the shells with the ham, chicken, and cheese mixture and place in the dish.
  8. After all the shells are filled and in the dish, pour remaining sauce over the shells.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling
