Two-Cheese Macaroni

This is Jan's Mac and Cheese. It's pretty yummy and better than the boxed kind.

1 (7-ounce) package elbow macaroni (I used whatever kind of noodles I have)

8 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese

1 large egg

1 cup small curd cottage cheese

1 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

(You can

add bacon or cubed ham)

1. Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spary a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Place 2 quarts water in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Add macaroni. Boil until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well.

3. Shred Cheddar. Whisk egg in a large bowl Add cottage cheese, sour cream, salt and pepper; mix well. Stir in Cheddar.

4. Fold macaroni into cheese mixture gently; mix well. Spoon macaroni mixture into prepared baking dish.

5. Bake until the mixture is bubbly and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
