{Some good ole Mac N Cheese}

I am sorry i don't have a picture of this one! I made it last night and FORGOT to take a picture! Sheesh. Anyway, this is a yummy mac n cheese recipe that i have liked for years and years. It's originally a Weight Watchers recipe, BUT my mom changed it around a bit to make it more flavorful and moist! Try it when you feel like some good ole comfort food! It's yummy! And it's quick and easy to make!

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups fat free or light sour cream
1/2 cup milk
3 cups of shredded SHARP cheddar cheese
2 cups fat free cottage cheese
1 egg
2 cups of elbow noodles
1 to 1 1/2 cups Italian breadcrumbs OR Panko crumbs
1 TBS. butter
Directions:
While you are boiling your noodles, mix together the sour cream, cottage cheese, milk, egg, and cheddar cheese in a 9x13 pan. When your noodles are done throw it in the mix and stir it all up. Cover with foil and cook in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. In the meantime, melt your butter and poor it into the breadcrumbs and mix it all up. For the last five minutes of cooking, uncover and spread the breadcrumb mixture over the top and cook uncovered for 5 minutes. I have always used Italian breadcrumbs and just recently used half Italian and half Panko. So, do whatever you like. We always serve this dish with peas.
TIP: You must use sharp cheddar cheese. This is the main ingredient that gives it so much taste! It won't taste the same without it.
ENJOY!
