Crawfish Mac and Cheese

Crawfish Mac and Cheese

Lobster mac and cheese is delightful. But, here in Louisiana, crawfish is king, baby! I wanted to show you how I make easy, quick, and cheap mac and cheese! But, crawfish were on sale at the store, so ding, ding…crawfish mac and cheese!crawfish-mac-and-cheese Watch me tease you….

 

Easy right? It’s completely sinful, but God is sooo good! So, is this recipe. Try it.
