1 pound of macaroni elbow noodles
½ pound of spaghetti noodles
1 pound of grated sharp cheddar cheese
Butter
Ham (about ½ pound)
2 eggs
Cup or so of milk

Boil the noodles separately (with butter), drain and rinse with cool water.
In about a 3 qt casserole type dish (heavily, greased with butter) add elbows to the bottom, layer with about 5/8 of cheese, add ham layer pieces (dime to nickel size) evenly, add spaghetti noodles, layer remaining cheese, season with pepper on top.
Beat eggs and milk, drizzle evenly across casserole.
Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees till top is golden to brown and liquids are clear.
(usually 45 minutes to 1 hr) remove from oven.
Best served when dish can be handled without towels (about 45 minutes).

I don't think I could wait the 45 mins...sounds pretty good to me...
