one of my kids favorite mac & cheese recipe (except for the orange stuff in the box!) So this is a good compromise for us! -
Ok for a pot luck, but kind of lacking flavor for me. I would add more actual cheese and decrease the amount of cottage cheese (it seemed a bit much). -
This was sooooo easy to put together and sooooo good. My husband and I both loved it. He said it was the best Mac & Cheese recipe I've found yet. My 7yr. old wasn't as crazy about it though. I'm thinking between the sharp cheddar & the sour cream, that it might have been a little to rich for her tastes.

The first time I made this recipe I used cheddar cheese like the recipe called for and family said it was a keeper. This time I used what I had on hand which was Texmex Mozzarella-Cheddar-Monteray Jack Cheese and I added 4 slices of cooked and chopped bacon. I plan on freezing some. 5 stars from the family.

This is my first ever 'mac and cheese' and it was yummy. I replaced half the cottage cheese with cream cheese because I am not such a fan . Next time I will probably halve the sour cream too and maybe even replace the cottage cheese entirely. The crust was awesome and really made it. Thanks for posting!

Absolutely delicious. It was slightly salty- maybe I'll replace some of the cheddar or cottage cheese with mozzarella next time, but other than that, a fabulous recipe! I cooked for 2 hungry men, and they loved it!
