 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
   12      ounces        macaroni -- (3/4 box) elbow
    2      large         eggs
    3      tablespoons   butter or margarine -- unsalted
    1 1/2  cups          milk
    8      ounces        cheddar cheese -- grated
                          (about 2 cups)
    1      teaspoon      salt
    1      teaspoon      black pepper -- freshly ground
    1      teaspoon      sugar
      1/2  teaspoon      yellow food coloring -- optional
 
 1)  Preheat the oven to 375 degree F.  Cook the macaroni in a large pot of 
 boiling salted water until tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes.  Drain it 
 very well and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
 
 2) Mix the macaroni with the remaining ingredients, reserving about 1/4 cup 
 each of the milk and the cheese.  Transfer to an 11-inch oval baking dish.  
 Pour the reserved milk over the top and sprinkle with the reserved cheese.
 
 3)  Bake until the top crust is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling, 
 about 25 minutes.  Serve hot.
