Mom’s Macaroni & Cheese


Serves: 3
Total Calories: 204

Ingredients

1 cup elbow macaroni, uncooked
onion powder and seasoned salt to taste
2 cups shredded American-Cheddar Jack cheese blend, divided
1 egg
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoons butter, diced

Directions:

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain. Place half of macaroni into a 2-quart casserole dish coated with butter-flavored non-stick vegetable spray. Sprinkle macaroni with onion powder, seasoned salt and one cup shredded cheese. Repeat layering. In a food processor, process egg, milk and cottage cheese until smooth. Pour mixture over top; dot with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 to 45 minutes, until heated through and set. Cool slightly before serving.

Tip: Give whole-grain pasta a try...it tastes great and contains more fiber than regular pasta. Check the label to be sure it’s made with whole-wheat flour, not simply wheat flour.
