CREAMY MACARONI AND CHEESE SAUSAGE CASSEROLE
Really you can add in anything you want to this, but I prefer sausage meat, frozen peas are also good to add in. Make certain to put a cookie sheet under the baking dish in case of spills, the casserole dish will be very full, or you can bake it in a larger casserole dish. This is delicious even made without the sausage meat added in, but for a main meal I suggest to add in the cooked sausage. You will love this!

Steps:

- In a heavy bottom saucepan, melt the butter or margarine.

- Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta/sausage meat mixture; stir well with a wooden spoon.
- At this point season with salt if desired.
- Transfer the mixture into a buttered 13 x 9-inch baking dish or a larger casserole dish.

LAYERED MEAT AND COTTAGE CHEESE MACARONI CASSEROLE
This is great to take to potlucks, you can prepare the complete casserole and refrigerate until ready to bake, adjust all seasonings to suit taste. To save time you can cook the sauce up to 48 hours in advance, in fact I advise to do so this will allow the flavors will blend together. If you prefer creamier layers increase the cottage cheese to 4 cups. Prep time does not include cooking the tomato sauce.
