I've made this a few times and it's pretty good (and addictive). I like the texture from the cottage cheese (similar to scrambled egg) but it adds a tangy flavor which is offset by the crumb topping (I used Ritz without melted butter). Definitely add the extra milk (it will look soupy before baking).

Finally! I've been looking for months for a creamy/saucy homemade mac n cheese recipe that's also tasty- and I've found it! Thank you cody's mama for posting ur pic- which made me try this recipe. My first successful roux. I followed the recipe pretty closely, only changes were to double the recipe (kept baking time the same) and replaced bread crumbs with Ritz crumbs. The pasta-to-sauce ratio was perfect, i like my pasta slightly drowning in sauce. Some of the ingredients (worchestershire and hot sauce) might sound weird for a mac n cheese recipe, but they actually help this one stand out (in a good way) without being too bold. but, it does give it a more grown-up taste. for a more traditional taste, i would omit the sauces (and maybe even the mustard) and add more cheese. The reviewer who found it too salty might have used salted butter. thanks amydoll for this recipe!

I used melted butter instead of shortening and I didn't need the entire amount of milk. Even though I rolled it to 1/2 inch thickness, they came out so tall. The dough is fun and easy to work with. Very quick, easy, and clean recipe.
