Way to spice up a traditional favorite! This recipe is so smooth and creamy, and I love how well the cottage cheese blends right in to give it an even lovelier texture. (So don't shy away from trying it!) We went light on the spices, but season as you see fit! This is A+ mac & cheese.

This recipe was a disaster! The cheese sauce was lumpy and the macaroni was mushy.

The macaroni was a little overcooked for my liking. I'll be sure to cook it for less time next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I added some additional spices to give it more flavor.

This dish is a little too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of cayenne pepper.

I'm not a huge fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I love the addition of the bell peppers and onions to this recipe. They give the dish a nice crunch and flavor.

This Creole Mac and Cheese is a true delight! The combination of flavors and textures is simply irresistible. The creamy cheese sauce, the tender macaroni, and the hint of spice from the cayenne pepper come together perfectly.
