This morning I was craving for something salty, so I went out to buy some bacon. I love mac'n cheese and I decided to top it with bacon I just bought (hmmm gooey good). This is very easy to make and great for pot lucks. I'm going to be very happy at dinner tonight.
Ingredients:
- Cheddar, Mexican mix and Parmesan cheese.
- Macaroni elbows
- Italian seasoning
- Seasoning salt
- Bacon
- 3/4 cup whole milk
Directions:
- Boil the macaroni elbows in a pot of water for about 15 mins.
- Tare the bacon strips in pieces and bake in oven until crisp and brown.
- Drain the macaroni elbows and pour them into the pan with the bacon drips.
- Mix Italian seasoning, seasoning salt and all the cheese. I sprinkle everything on until it covered the pan. (9x12").
- Bake at 375 for 30 mins. Or until you feel like it ready.
I learned this recipe from my grandmother. She makes it perfectly spicy and finger lick'n good. Although, the preparation part is quite inhumane-crustacean (inhumane but for shell fish), especially when I have to stab the crabs to death and rip their bodies in half. As I detach their limbs, a nerve would stimulate a twitch or two. Sighs, the cruelty I go through to have some protein in my diet. Eh, whatever, the smell of butter and onion is heavenly enough to forget about the sin.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 stick of butter
- 8 blue crabs
- 2 Tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 white bulb onion
Directions:
- Stab the crabs in the center, when they rest, peel the back body and discard, clean and rinse with water, half the bodies then set aside.
- Dice the bulb onion.
- Melt the butter in a deep fry pan. Wait for an orange color, then add the onion.
- When the onion is translucent, add the cleaned crabs in the pan.
- Add the rest of the ingredients.
- Stir fry for 40 mins at a little over med heat.
- Eat with rice.
