Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the elbow macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheese Sauce

    In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Cheeses and Seasoning

    Reduce heat to low, then stir in the sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Crab

    Fold the cooked macaroni and king crab meat into the cheese sauce until well combined.

  5. 5

    Prepare for Baking

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac 'n cheese mixture to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
