1 1/2 cup elbow macaroni
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Bring a large pot of water to boil over medium-high heat. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente. Drain well and keep warm.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers or other vegetables and ham and cook, stirring frequently, until cooked.
Sprinkle the flour over the top of the ham and vegetables. Mix well. While stirring, slowly add the milk. When the milk is incorporated, add the yogurt. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cheese until melted. Add the macaroni and jalapenos and mix well. Transfer the pasta mixture to a baking dish. Sprinkle with the bread crumbs or crushed tortilla chips. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 15 minutes or until heated through.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
