Two-Cheese Macaroni Casserole

6 Servings

Prep: 10 min. Bake: 55 min.

Ingredients

2-1/4 cups water

1/4 cup butter, cubed

4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni

1 cup (8 ounces) 4% cottage cheese

1/8 teaspoon pepper

Pinch salt

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring water and butter to a boil. Remove from

the heat; carefully stir in the remaining ingredients.

Transfer to a greased 2-qt. baking dish. Cover and bake at 350°

for 45 minutes.

Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until bubbly and

macaroni is tender.

 Yield: 6 servings

Notes: I use the low-fat cottage cheese (not the 4%) and I often put in only 2-3 cups of shredded cheese to make it a little healthier.
