Crab Macaroni Casserole image

Cold winter evenings are much more tolerable with this comforting casserole. Whole wheat macaroni boosts nutrition, while the melted cheese topping makes it rich and so satisfying. We like it best with a veggie side. -Jason Egner, Edgerton, Wisconsin

The casserole was a little too cheesy for my taste. I think I would use less cheese next time.

The casserole was too dry. I think I should have added more milk or cream.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some Old Bay seasoning or cayenne pepper next time.
