Caramelized Onion Macaroni and Cheese

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced onions and sugar. Cook, stirring often for 15 to 20 minutes or until onions turn caramel colored.

Layer half each of cooked macaroni, onions, cheeses and cracker crumbs in a lightly greased 9X13 baking dish. Then repeat the layers with remaining macaroni, onions and cheeses (not the crackers yet).

Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper; pour over macaroni mixture.

Stir together remaining half of cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons melted butter; sprinkling over macaroni mixture.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until a nice golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
