MACLAREN'S IMPERIAL CHEESE AND MACARONI



Maclaren's Imperial Cheese and Macaroni image

I purchased some Maclaren's Imperial Cheese at Costco, which was a super deal, not really knowing what to do with it. I searched the Kraft site for some recipes, but they didn't really have much I wanted to try that was for everyday use. I set out to try my hand at something myself and I hope you like it. My husband, who loves mac 'n cheese, really did.

CRAB IMPERIAL CASSEROLE



Crab Imperial Casserole image

YUM! Fennel adds a subtle sweet note, but you can omit if it's not on hand. You can also adjust sherry to taste, I just love sherry with creamy crab dishes. This recipe calls for a casserole dish but use individual ramekins if desired, just adjust to a shorter baking time.
