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!
