Ham & Broccoli Casserole

I am pretty sure if you are like me you have leftover ham swirling around your house today. Instead of making another night of leftovers, transform them into a delicious new dish — like this Ham and Broccoli Casserole recipe.
4 ounces egg noodles
1 package (10 ounces) frozen broccoli spears
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon prepared brown mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups milk
1 cup grated mild Cheddar cheese
2 cups cooked diced ham
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cook the egg noodles following package directions; drain.
Cook broccoli just until tender.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter; blend in flour, salt, prepared mustard, and pepper. Stir until smooth and bubbly. This will make a roux.
Gradually add milk, stirring until thickened; remove from heat and stir in the cheese until melted.
Dice broccoli stalks; leave flowerets intact.
In an 8-inch square baking dish, arrange noodles, broccoli stems, and ham; pour cheese sauce over all.
Arrange the flowerets over the top, pressing down a bit.  Bake ham casserole for about 20 minutes, or until hot and bubbly.
