2 Tbsp butter
1 pkg elbow macaroni (1 pound)
salt and pepper to taste
OPTIONAL:
1/4 c finely crushed soda cracker crumbs or crumbs from toasted bread

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook and drain macaroni. Heat milk, eggs, butter, and cheese in a small saucepan until cheese is melted. Stir together macaroni, cheese mixture and salt and pepper. Pour into a buttered casserole and bake for 20-30 minutes until just beginning to brown.
