Taken from an unidentified newspaper article.

• 3/4 pound elbow macaroni
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 (24 slice) package American cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 400°. Boil macaroni for 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain well.

In a 9 X 13 inch oven-proof casserole, beat eggs and milk. Cut cheese slices into quarters and add to mixture. Add macaroni, stirring well with fork to distribute.

Dot top with margarine or butter. Sprinkle with bread crumbs, if desired. Bake in oven for 1 hour, or until brown.
