This recipe was a disaster! The mac and cheese was dry and crumbly, and the sour cream and cottage cheese made it even worse. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The recipe was easy to follow and the mac and cheese turned out well, but it wasn't anything special. I think I'll stick to my old mac and cheese recipe next time.

This mac and cheese was a bit too tangy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it without the sour cream and cottage cheese.
