And a recipe. Now before you read the title let me tell you this...it sounds different - BUT It is darn delicious. I first had this recipe when Drew and I were dating. I remember when he first told me about it I thought - oh heck no, but it doesn't turn out the way you think!
Cottage Beef Bake
Ingredients
1.5 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
2 cups cottage cheese (I prefer reduced fat, small curd)
1/2. cup onion chopped
2 TBSP. butter
1 lb. lean ground beef (we use ground turkey most of the time)
1 tsp. salt (I omit this)
1. TBSP. flour
2 tsp. italian seasoning
8 ozs. tomato sauce
2 cups shredded American Cheese. (or cheddar is another good one!)
buttered bread crumbs
1) Preheat oven to 325
2) Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain well. Combine with cottage cheese; set aside. Saute onion in better until transparent. Add ground beef and cook until lightly browned. Stir in salt, flour, Italian seasoning, and tomato sauce. Cook for one minute.
3) Pour 1/3 of meat mixture into buttered 2 qt. casserole dish. Top with 1/2 macaroni mixture and then 1/2 of shredded cheese. Repeat layers, using last 1/3 of the sauce on top. Sprinkle buttered bread crumbs over top. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes.
Just give it a try, please :)

I think the recipe sounds great! I will try it next week!
I will try it next week as well!
So, I was vegetarian in high school, and my mom used to make this thing we called "cottage cheese loaf" that turns out kind of like a vegetarian meatloaf. Most people get turned off by the name, but if you are already cooking with cottage cheese, you might want to give it a try. I LOVE it! I haven't figured out the nutrition facts, but I bet it's a pretty healthy alternative. I don't know if this is it exactly, but it sounds like the same stuff she used: http://www.beabree.com/2006-03/kellogs-special-k-cottage-cheese-loaf-sda-style/
