Macaroni and Cheese Deluxe "House" Recipe

By mm_food4me

This recipe was introduced to the family by Pat Reynolds Ingram my dad's sister. My mom, Betty Reynolds, then adopted the recipe and it became forever known as "the" recipe for mac and cheese. This is not the creamy style of mac and cheese but is rich and casseroly! My Mom then found the recipe with actual measurements and amounts on p.74 of The Black Family Reunion Cookbook.

• 1 (8-ounce) package elbow macaroni, cooked
• 2 cups cream-style cottage cheese
• 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
