Crawfish Mac & Cheese

Ingredients:

4 cups macaroni

3 tea spoons powdered crab boil

¼ cup butter

¼ cup AP Flour

4 cups milk

4 cups cheddar

1 cup parmesan

1 lb cooked Louisiana crawfish tails

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon hot sauce

Instructions:

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and sprinkle in the crab boil powder, drop in macaroni and cook until al dente and then drain (Do not overcook pasta). In another small pot, melt the butter over medium heat and slowly stir in the flour to make a roux. Stir continuously for two minutes to make a light roux and cook out the raw flour taste. Slowly add milk and bring up to a simmer. Stir in the cheeses until they melt into the sauce and cut the heat. Combine pasta, cheese sauces, crawfish, salt and hot sauce. Mix thoroughly and pour in to a greased baking pan. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until the mac & cheese sets to your desired texture. Enjoy!
