This recipe was AWFUL!!! So bland and boring, bad taste and too rich. I felt so bad making this dish for my family, I apologized many times. I even added bacon to spruce it up, and it just made the BACON TASTE BAD!!! I didn't think it was possible, but yes, this recipe made BACON taste bad.

I made this recipe with the cottage cheese the first time and it came out gross (maybe it was me) then I decided I would try again with fat free cream cheese instead and added some seasonings and 2% colby cheddar mix and came out pretty good for lowfat mac n cheese.

Good change from the usual fat-filled mac & cheese. I doubled recipe, but used a little less milk and added little bit of garlic salt to the blender. Will make again!

We have made this recipe several times now. It is very creamy and delicious. I use fat free cottage cheese which lowers the fat even more. I do recommend cutting back on the milk just a bit. It comes out soupy otherwise.

I think I'd add more to this recipe next time. I had a hard time getting the cottage cheese to smooth out. Just seemed ok compaired to the other dishes I have tried. I think that it would taste better with bacon or ham.

I've been making this mac and cheese for a few years now and I really enjoy it! I suppose it's not as yummy as the kind made with real cheddar cheese and a flour/milk sauce, but it is good and the fact that it's low fat makes up for it as far as I'm concerned.

Easy to make. Very creamy and good tasting. I added some diced smoked ham and it was delicious. A definite addition to my recipe box.

SO creamy! SO easy! It looks & tastes gourmet but it's as simple as the box brands but probably better for you!! A MUST TRY!
