The Perfect Pasta

The Cheesy Magic Happens
In a large bowl, combine:
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 3/4 teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of sharp shredded cheddar cheese (with at least 1 cup reserved for the top)
- 2 cups of small curd cottage cheese
- 1 slightly beaten egg
- 1/2 pound of crispy, diced bacon
- A pinch of pepper, Tabasco Sauce, and paprika to taste
Bringing it All Together
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Mix everything together in that big bowl, including the bacon grease (yes, you read that right!). Spread the mixture evenly into a greased 9×13 casserole dish and top with as much cheese as your heart desires. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Make it Your Own
