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