This Million Dollar Mac & Cheese really lives up to its name. It tastes like a million bucks. You can make this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate for later. I live for make ahead dishes like this!

If you aren’t a fan of cottage cheese, you can swap it out for ricotta. I don’t eat cottage cheese out of the container, but I absolutely LOVE it in casseroles. If you have a cottage cheese hater, don’t tell them that it is in here. They will never know it’s there once it is mixed in with the cream cheese and sour cream.

  1. I made this today using Ricotta instead of cottage cheese. I didn't do a layer of the cheese mixture, but rather mixed everything together, and it was great! Delicious recipe.

    1. You can always make your own cheese sauce Flour salt cream or half and half and 2% milk if you do that I would omit the cottage cheese just a suggestion 😉

  2. I am thinking of using the ricotta and adding shredded chicken for a make ahead meal. Think cooked chicken would dry out?

  3. Very interesting combination of cheeses for mac and cheese. I haven't seen that before. Thanks very much for that idea.
