Double Cheese Macaroni and Cheese

May 12, 2018 by mgrc Leave a Comment

This is a family favorite main dish augmented by extra cheese for flavor and moistness.

Reader Kimberly lamented the loss of a favorite baked mac and cheese. She said it “used cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, a sauce made to pour on top,” and that it was a layered dish. None of the other mac and cheeses quite right, so I’m hoping this is the one.

You may use another favorite cheese in this recipe in place of the cheddar. Bits and ends of Jack, colby, Swiss, go well. Aromatic cheeses will be characteristically aromatic, however, they taste good in this dish, too.

Makes 1 2-quart baking dish worth of mac and cheese.
