Cook macaroni noodles in salted water according to package instructions. Once cooked drain water and set aside.
While macaroni cooks, brown ground beef in a large skillet. Once crumbled and browned, season ground beef with chili powder, cumin, salt, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, and smoked paprika.
Add tomato paste, diced tomatoes, and kidney beans to the pan. Mix and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
While that simmers, blend cottage cheese and milk until smooth.
Pour macaroni noodles and cottage cheese sauce into the pan with the beef mixture. Toss to combine evenly. Turn off the heat and top with the shredded cheese.
Stir the entire mixture until cheese is melted.
