I know, I know. Another mac and cheese recipe. But, wait. Maybe it's not as cholesterol-crazy as some; or, is that just wishful thinking on my part? I first served this about 30 years ago when Dave and I were first married. Really impressed his mom. Still makin' it today; still impressin' folks today. I like making it, and so does my arthritis. It's that easy. I prefer the medium shells. Elbow macaroni is so...well...elbow macaroni. Ingredients:
2 cups small curd cottage cheese |
1 cup sour cream |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
garlic powder, pepper to taste |
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated |
8 ounces elbow macaroni, cooked and well drained |
seasoned bread crumbs (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients EXCEPT cheese and macaroni.
2. Add cheese and mix well.
3. Add macaroni; stir until coated.
4. Transfer to greased 2-1/2 quart baking dish.
5. Top with bread crumbs (optional).
6. Sprinkle with paprika (if desired).
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes OR until bubbly.
