You're speakin' my language. I think Campbell's CoM soup with grilled sharp WI cheddar on my grandma's Swedish limpa bread might just be THE ultimate comfort food meal. How could I have forgotten that combo?!

Must have been all those potatoes. BTW, How is dididit feeling?
I make baked mac n cheese with about 2/3 cottage cheese and 1/3 sharp cheddar. Squishy-cheesy-good. It's made a convert of many non-mac-n-cheese eaters. Then wrap up in a blankie, make a hot toddy, and...good nii-iight... Arla
Gah...what happens when the 2 adults in the household have spent the past week sick? Their eating standards go out the door when their appetites begin to return. For dinner we are have a DiGiorno rising-crust pizza (whole wheat, so it's got that going for it)...and then ice cream cookie sandwiches.

It's a mom recipe, so not very exact: Boil up about 1 1/2 - 2c of macaroni - (make it al dente, since you're going to bake it later) and drain well - I make enough to fill my 1.5 qt. casserole Add cottage cheese until the mac is nicely coated (I use about 3/4 of a pint) - or to taste Add grated cheddar to taste (at least 1/4 lb - more to taste) Put the whole mess in a casserole, splash a little milk in (maybe 1/4 c - this is just so it doesn't dry out), I like to top it with some more cheddar, maybe some parmesan, and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs to make it crispy on top. Bake at 350F for 25 - 30 min - it will get really bubbly and start to brown slightly on top. Let cool slightly before serving. This and just a salad or veg on the side is a pretty hearty meal! This reheats well - makes a great leftover, travels well to the office. Arla
