Crab Mac N' Cheese

Lobster Mac N' Cheese is a big thing in New England. When I visited Maine last year, I figured it was a must try, since we don't really have them here in the Philadelphia area.

Honestly I don't love lobster, I'm a crab kind of girl. So when I bought a container of pre-shelled crab I couldn't decide what to make until someone asked for Mac N' Cheese.

This isn't anything like what you will find in New England and was probably one of the hardest and easiest experiments so far. My biggest task was learning how to make the cheese sauce, the worst part was not have many different cheese's within the house to really go all out on this. But in the end it worked out & my family loved it!

Recipe

Pre-time: 30 mins

Servings: 4-6

Ingredients

1/2 container of crab meat (about 4oz)
Box of pasta
2 - 3 cups of cheese (I used cheeder, swiss, mozzarella and feta)
4 tsp of flour
1 cup milk

Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.

Bring noodles to a boil, drain and add butter or olive oil to prevent sticking. 

Add 1/2 a cup of milk to a sauce pan, add flour and stir in rest of milk on medium heat. Once milk is boiling add cheeses and continue to stir.Add crab meat to cheese sauce once cheese is melted.

Pour cheese over noodles and place into a casserole dish, add a layer of cheese on top and place in oven for 20 minutes.

Let cool and enjoy!
