Mrs. Austin's Macaroni and Cheese image

My mother found this recipe many years ago and it has become known as Mrs. Austin's Macaroni and Cheese by my friends. This delicious dish can be made in a casserole or an oven-proof dutch oven in your oven at home, but I often make a double batch outdoors in my 10" camp-style dutch oven using about 6 coals under the pot and...

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 6

7-8 oz elbow macaroni, uncooked
2 c small curd cottage cheese
1 c sour cream
1 egg, beaten
3/4 tsp salt
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • 1. Cook the elbow macaroni according to package directions for al dente, keeping in mind that it will cook further in the oven.
  • 2. While the pasta is cooking, combine the cottage cheese, sour cream, egg, salt, and cheddar cheese (reserving some for the top of the dish at the end). I usually make this recipe using fat-free cottage cheese, reduced fat sour cream, and egg beaters.
  • 3. Drain the cooked pasta, return it to the pot, and stir the cheese mixture into the pasta, combining everything thoroughly.
  • 4. Transfer the macaroni and cheese mixture into a casserole dish or an oven-proof dutch oven (or camp-style dutch oven if you're cooking outdoors). Be sure to leave some space for the mac and cheese to expand as it cooks. Sprinkle extra cheddar cheese on top and bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes. (See my comment above for outdoor cooking directions.) When the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbling around the pasta, it is ready to enjoy!

I didn't have any cheddar cheese, so I used mozzarella instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is too complicated. I prefer a simpler macaroni and cheese recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroni and cheese turned out dry. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The sauce was a little too thick for my taste, but the flavor was good.
