- Slice your ham thinly into strips and dehydrate the strips at 160°F for 6 hours.

TO REHYDRATE
- Boil about 3 cups of water and transfer into a bowl. Add the dried macaroni and ham. Ensure the water is just above the meal.
- Allow sitting in a cozy for 15 minutes until it's well-rehydrated. Drain any excess liquid and pour the noodles and ham back into the bag.
- Heat about 6 tablespoons of water and stir in butter, milk, and cheese powders to make the cheese sauce.
- Mix the cheese sauce with the noodles. Drizzle oil over the mixture or add butter if you desire. Top your meal with the breadcrumb-parmesan mix.
