Macaroni and Cheese Casserole

Recipe #271757 | 45 min | 15 min prep

This casserole is not your typical mac and cheese. It has a very "cheesy" rich flavor. It is great for family reunions and gatherings because it will serve up to 15 people and is easy to transport. You can make this "lighter" by using light sour cream (or plain yogurt) and cottage cheese as well as low cholesterol eggs.

When I had the whole gang at home, I stumbled upon this recipe when I needed to stretch the mac and cheese and I added the cottage cheese. My brother in law said this was better than his mom's and I had better not tell her

    I had a large container of cottage cheese to use up, so I decided to try this recipe. My entire family loves it! It is so cheesy, and filling. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out wonderfully. My oven did take a little longer to start browning the top. This would be excellent with broccoli on the side. Thank you!
