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!

Cheesy, yes. Creamy, no. Doesn't look very appealing, but does have a good cheesy taste, just very different from any mac and cheese I have tried (and I have tried a lot).

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!
