Secret Ingredients: Extra Creamy Homemade Mac & Cheese
Turn your ordinary mac & cheese into a creamy, dreamy dish!
I have a secret to share: Add Hiland Dairy Cottage Cheese and Hiland Dairy Sour Cream to your macaroni and cheese recipe (or you can try my recipe below), and you’ll have an extra creamy dish of total goodness! Protein-packed cottage cheese and tangy sour cream aren’t typically your go-to ingredients in mac & cheese, but do yourself a favor and give them a try. You’ll thank me later!
