Homemade Macaroni & Cheese

By Courtyb34 @CourtyB34
I made up this recipe completely on my own! It's very good, but a little disappointed on how my noodles turned out. I used a wooden spoon to stir it, and my noodles broke down and got all mushy. They started out as wheel noodles. 
                    INGREDIENTS
             ~ 3 cups of wheel noodles (You can add on)
             ~ 3 tablespoons of butter 
             ~ 1 tablespoon of milk
             ~ 2 1/2 cups of grated cheese
             ~ 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
             ~ 1/4 cup of chopped tomatoes
             ~ 1/4 cup of chopped ham
