Thoughts: Really good! This was actually my first time making mac n' cheese not out of a box...I know it's not the "classic" kind, but I thought the addition of cottage cheese would be interesting. The breadcrumb crust was super delicious, and altogether it was very rich so it wasn't too hard to only eat small portions!
