Dry Curd Cottage Cheese – Mac & Cheese!
Being of Czech descent, my mom used sour cream and cottage cheese in several of her favorite recipes. One dish that stands out to me as a kid and now my kids say tastes better than the macaroni and cheese is Cottage Cheese and Noodles.
The key ingredient is dry curd cottage cheese. If you can’t find it in your local grocery store, simply buy Hiland Dairy Cottage Cheese, strain out the excess moisture, rinse well and pat dry. Voila! You made dry curd cottage cheese!
