Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
6 ounces elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
8 ounces shredded mozzarella
8 ounces pepper jack cheese, grated
4 ounces cream cheese
1 pound frozen, shelled crawfish tails, defrosted

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot filled with water to a boil over high heat; salt it generously. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Preheat the broiler to high.
  • Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter, then add the onions. Cook until the onions soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Then stir in the garlic, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the pepper and cook for another minute. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan to melt. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and stir until it turns a deep blonde color and has a nutty aroma, about 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk. Cook, whisking frequently, until it starts to thicken. Then add the cream and thicken for another 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheeses until melted. Add the crawfish to the sauce, and then fold in the macaroni until coated. Remove from the heat.
  • Divide the mac and cheese among 8 large ramekins or cast-iron skillets. Broil until the tops of the noodles are golden brown and bubbly. Let cool slightly, then serve warm.

This was a really delicious dish! The crawfish added a great flavor to the mac and cheese, and the cheese sauce was nice and creamy. I would definitely make this again.

I thought this dish was just okay. The cheese sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, and the crawfish flavor was a bit too subtle. I probably wouldn't make this again.

This was a really easy dish to make, and it turned out delicious. I used frozen crawfish tails, and they worked just fine. I also added a little bit of Old Bay seasoning to give it a bit of a kick. Will definitely be making this again.

I thought this dish was pretty good. The cheese sauce was nice and creamy, and the crawfish added a nice seafood flavor. However, I found the recipe to be a bit too salty for my taste. I would probably use less salt next time.

This recipe was a disaster. The cheese sauce never thickened, and the crawfish were mushy. I had to throw the whole thing away. I would not recommend this recipe.

I would give this recipe a 3 out of 5 stars. It was easy to make, and the flavor was good, but it wasn't anything special. I might make it again if I'm in a pinch, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it.

This was a really disappointing dish. The cheese sauce was too thick and gloppy, and the crawfish were overcooked. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I thought this dish was just okay. The cheese sauce was a bit bland, and the crawfish flavor was barely noticeable. I probably wouldn't make this again.

This recipe was a bit too cheesy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The crawfish were cooked perfectly, and the sauce was nice and creamy. Overall, it was a good dish.
