Our Favorite Macaroni and Cheese

I like this recipe because it contains no processed ingredients and it only uses one pot and one baking dish. It is also easy to tweak to your family's tastes and health concerns. I found this at allrecipes.com

Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese

INGREDIENTS
1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni
1 (8 ounce) package shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (I grate mine for a fresher taste)
1 (12 ounce) container small curd cottage cheese (I use 2%)
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup dry bread crumbs (I do not add the bread crumbs or the butter)
1/4 cup butter, melted
**I also add 3/4 cup of milk to make it creamier.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil, add pasta, and cook until done; drain.
In 9x13 inch baking dish, stir together macaroni, shredded Cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. In a small bowl, mix together bread crumbs and melted butter. Sprinkle topping over macaroni mixture.
Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until top is golden. Stir and enjoy!
**Our oven runs hot so I cooked it at 325 for 25 minutes then 350 for 15.
