homemade mac & cheese

 

My 16-year old hosted a Friendsgiving and invited her friends to bring side dishes, drinks and desserts and I was amazed by what they brought.  Her friend Mason brought homemade mac & cheese and it was so good I asked his mom for the recipe.  I have made it since and adjusted it ever so slightly.

homemade mac & cheese (my friend Jenny)

Make a white sauce with:

3 tablespoons butter

1/4 cup flour

Blend in a Vitamix:

3 cups milk

1 cup cottage cheese

1 teaspoon chicken bouillon (I used vegetable flavored)

1 tablespoon lemon pepper (didn't have so I used 1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash and some salt to taste

Add milk and cottage cheese mixture to the white sauce.  Boil 1-2 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.

Boil 3 cups macaroni.  Drain.

Pour pasta into a 9x13 glass dish.  Pour white sauce over the top.  Top with more shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees until cheese melts, about 30 minutes.
