Inez, this was very good. I was a little leery about the cottage cheese, but it provided a pleasant tang to the overall flavor. The minced onion was a nice addition also, although next time I think I'll cut back on the amount. Very creamy and cheesy and it definately deserves a spot on my top ten favorite mac and cheese recipe list!

This is a great recipe for Mac and Cheese and it isn't loaded with fat like so many of them are. I put it together as stated except for two minor changes. First, I put the cottage cheese mixture in the blender and made it really smooth before mixing everything together. Second, I sprinkled about 2 oz. of shredded extra sharp cheddar on top before baking. As a result, I wound up baking it about 15 minutes longer to brown the cheese. It was delicious and I know we will enjoy this recipe often. Thanks for posting it!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
