Three-Cheese Spirals

This is one of our favorite baked mac & cheese recipes! You sure can't go wrong with this much cheesiness. :)

1 pkg. (16 oz) spiral pasta (or whatever pasta you have on hand)
1 egg
1 1/2 C (12 oz) sour cream
1 1/2 C (12 oz) small-curd cottage cheese
1 lb. process American cheese, cubed
2 C shredded cheddar cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a blender, combine the egg, sour cream and cottage cheese; process until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl; add American & cheddar cheeses. Drain pasta; stir into cheese mixture until evenly coated.
Transfer to a greased shallow 3 qt. baking dish. Bake uncovered, at 350 degrees for 15 minutes; stir. Bake 15-20 min. longer or until bubbly and edges begin to brown. Yield: 8-10 servings

Cheeseroni

My family is a huge fan of this casserole. It is simple but oh, so yummy!

2 C macaroni
1 lb. ground beef or sausage or mixture of both (I like the sausage the best but don't always have that on hand)
1 can tomato soup
1 can mushroom soup - do NOT dilute soups
1 green pepper, diced
2 C cubed or grated cheddar cheese
1- 3 oz. can french-fried onions

Cook macaroni as appropriate for casserole. Drain. In large skillet brown meat with your favorite seasonings. (I like chopped onion, oregano, basil & italian seasoning for an Italian taste) Add soups, green pepper & cooked macaroni and mix. Place half the mixture in greased 2 1/2 quart casserole. Sprinkle with half the cheese and half of the onions. Top with remaining macaroni mixture and cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Top with remaining onions and bake 5 minutes longer.
Makes 6-8 servings.
