Steps:
- In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, sour cream, egg and seasonings. Add Cheddar cheese and mix well; add macaroni and stir until coated. Transfer to a greased 13"x9" baking pan. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Tips:
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your macaroni and cheese. Choose a sharp cheddar cheese for a classic flavor, or experiment with different types of cheese to create your own unique dish.
- Cook the macaroni al dente: Macaroni that is cooked too soft will become mushy and ruin the texture of your dish. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions, or until it is just tender.
- Make a roux: A roux is a mixture of butter and flour that is used to thicken sauces. It will help to give your macaroni and cheese a creamy, smooth texture.
- Add milk and cheese gradually: When you are adding the milk and cheese to the roux, do it gradually and whisk constantly. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
- Season to taste: Once you have added the milk and cheese, taste the sauce and season it to taste. You may want to add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
- Top with breadcrumbs: Before you bake the macaroni and cheese, top it with a layer of breadcrumbs. This will help to give it a crispy, golden brown crust.
Conclusion:
Macaroni and cheese is a classic comfort food that is loved by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your own taste preferences.
