Ever since I was preggers with Paxton, I have loved Mac & Cheese…
but it had to be THE BOXED KIND.
Oh good heavens, I am so ashamed to admit that to you.
The fake cheese tasted so good! I ate a whole box for lunch. Eeek! {with a salad!!!!}
I have been on the hunt for a homemade gooey, cheesy Mac & Cheese to replace my addiction ever since, and I haven’t found one that we like.
Well, when I saw this recipe from The Sunflower Supper Club I knew I had to give it a go. I mean, it had sour cream in it! How could I go wrong? They don’t have one recipe on their site that we haven’t LOOOOVED. This Mac and Cheese was no exception!
Kim calls it Creamy One Pot Macaroni and Cheese, but since I used more than just a pot, I felt like I would be lying to you, so we have dubbed it a new name at our house based on my favorite part, the buttery Panko on top!

Does the cottage cheese stay in curd form, or blend? My husband hates cottage cheese so if it was still visible I’d have trouble getting it past him. Don’t even ask about Lasagna, hates ricotta too 😦
My family HATESSSSSS Cottage Cheese! But they didn’t even notice it. If you are worried, you could pre squish the curds a bit to make them more like sour cream and less curd like.
Thanks! I love it & hate milk, he hates it & loves milk. I guess its the texture. I would rather have cottage cheese with peaches than ice cream tho so I might be the odd one!
That looks amazing. We will be trying it!
I am pregnant now and just looking at the recipe makes me hungry!
This looks delicious! Thank you, for taking the time to share it with all that’s going on in your family. We’re praying for y’all.
Btw, has anyone ever told you, you look like Phoebe Cates???
LOL! No, I will have to go see who that is. With my new hair cut, I hear Liza Minnelli most of the time! 🙂
Nope, not Liza. Phoebe. She was a popular teen movie star in the early 80’s. You look so much like her!… This is a good thing! 😉
Oh my gosh, what a bee-you-ti-full pregnant momma you make! If you don’t mind me asking, what was Paxton’s birth weight?
Aww, thank ya! He was 10 pounds, 3 oz. 🙂 He was our fed by God, miracle baby, I was on bedrest 6 1/2 months due to a placenta attachment problem that can cause low oxygen and birth weight. God is good!
Girl, if you like this you’ll LOVE this one with Cheez-It topping. SO good.
