SPICY MACARONI AND BRIE WITH CRAB
Trying new mac and cheese recipes is always fun! This one fits the bill perfectly. :yummy: You'll love the flavor of the caramelized onion combined with creamy Brie cheese and the succulent crabmeat.:) The Brie cheese melts seamlessly into the sauce and the crisp bread crumb topping creates a beautiful contrast. This swanky mac and cheese was served to me by my friend Kerline and she added her personal Haitian touch to the dish! She served steaks done on the grill, this nice dish with a wonderful green salad - greens of all kind - with a champagne vinaigrette. The Haitian touch consisted of adding a Scotch Bonnet pepper (but it was taken out right at the exact moment),some hot sauce and a few things I wasn't able to figure out. Kerline wasn't being mean but these are her personal touches. ;) Recipe source Better Homes and Gardens.
