It seems like there are endless recipe variations on macaroni and cheese; however my family is not a big fan of cheese sauce-based macaroni and cheese. It seems to dilute the cheese flavor. This simple but tasty recipe was given to me at a church supper in Terre Haute; it's old, definitely has German or Jewish (kugel?) roots. I loved this recipe, however I did make a couple of minor modifications. Second, I warmed/melted cheese into the milk/egg mixture on medium heat while cooking the macaroni.
