Mac & cheese is one of those comfort foods my family loves to eat all year long, not just for the holidays. There is just something about its cheesy goodness.

Ingredients:

• 16 oz elbow macaroni
• 24 oz small curd cottage cheese
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp paprika

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Spray a 9″x13″ baking dish with cooking spray.
3. Boil the macaroni noodles until tender, then drain and add to a large bowl.
4. Add all remaining ingredients, reserving 1 cup of the cheddar cheese.
5. Pour into the baking dish.
6. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
8. Enjoy!
