Crackaroni (Macaroni and Cheese) image

The most awesome macaroni and cheese ever! So addictive, we call it "crackaroni." You just can't stop eating this fabulously creamy concoction. I slightly changed the recipe of a coworker who brought it to a potluck. Proceed at your own risk. I can't be responsible for the rise in your cholesterol levels.

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb macaroni (I prefer bowtie)
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
white pepper (optional)
8 ounces Velveeta cheese (cubed)
8 ounces sour cream
8 ounces small curd cottage cheese
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese (grated)
paprika

Steps:

  • Cook and drain macaroni slightly al dente. Place in greased 2 qt casserole dish.
  • Melt butter over medium heat. Add flour for a light roux.
  • Stirring constantly, gradually add the milk, cooking until thickened.
  • Add pepper, salt and sugar, mixing thoroughly.
  • Add Velveeta cubes and stir until melted.
  • Add sour cream and cottage cheese, stirring until well combined.
  • Pour over macaroni and mix well. It will look "cheesy" but will soak into the macaroni during cooking.
  • Spread cheddar cheese over the top.
  • Sprinkle with paprika.
  • Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.
