Chuck’s Favorite Mac and Cheese

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs

2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
3. Mix bread crumbs and melted butter together in a small bowl.
4. Transfer drained macaroni to the prepared baking dish. Add cottage cheese, Cheddar, sour cream, Parmesan, salt, and pepper; stir until well combined. Sprinkle bread crumb mixture over top.
