Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Monday was not a fun day for us. It started out with a very hopeful interview near Indy and ended with the car being towed all the way back to Muncie many hours after it broke down.  We got back at 5:00 and I needed to make dinner still.  Luckily, this recipe was so easy I could still whip it up with the little energy I had left. And I knew it would be good, because it comes from Mary Murray.

I did not use macaroni, just rotini I had hanging around

Serves 5-6
8 oz Macaroni, cooked
1 lb. Container cottage cheese
3/4 c sour cream
8 oz pkg. Shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
1 t salt
1/8 t pepper

Combine all ingredients in a 1.5 quart casserole dish.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

Yeah, we liked it. It's not your traditional macaroni and cheese with lots of cheddar cheese, but is more like a delicious pasta casserole.  Um, yum. It's not healthy by any means, but still good every once in a while.

This random picture shows the little kid's personality. After many trips to Wal-Mart where she carried this ball around the entire store, we spent a whopping $2 to buy it for her. She wouldn't even let it go to drive home.
