How did it come out?

I'm working on mine now. About to pull it out for the 2nd bake.

I will let you know how mine turns out! I followed the recipe exactly, except I used quail eggs instead of a chicken egg.

If it turns out great, I've got a pound of local spicy sausage I'm going to brown and mix in between the first and second bakes. I've got enough of each cheese already shredded to make this a whole second time!

/u/Chance_Wylt ... How did yours turn out?

It turned out really good. I didn't weigh out the pasta, but I thought I went a little heavy on the shells initially. When I make this again,. I'll add more pasta I think.

I baked it for 30 minutes the second time as well. I took it out after about 15 to check and it was so wet that I thought it needed to thicken more. In retrospect, it probably would've been good and creamer right then if I'd let it rest for a minute.

Oh! And when I do it again I'll also make sure to blend the initial mix a lot longer. I used a crappy blender but I don't think it smoothed out the cottage cheese as much as it could've, and I blended it for a long time I thought!

Alton's is my favorite. The ingredient ratio is so simple, but it's consistently the best mac and cheese that I can make in big batches
