Easy Crawfish Pistolettes
"I found the basic recipe for this online a few years ago. I omitted mushroom soup (not my thing), and added hot pork sausage, as a request from my boss at the time. Prep time is a guess (depending on the crawfish you use), but they're easy to make and i've never had leftovers!"

Autumn 2006 PAC: AWESOME! GREAT! WONDERFUL!! I could use several more adjectives, but those describe it best. This was a quick supper idea and my family really loved it. It makes a bunch and I froze some for later. They freeze well, as hubby had some in his lunch yesterday. I had made the stuffed Pistolettes before with ground round and broccoli, but THIS was a very different dish. THANKS CHRISTY M. for a new favorite at my house.

hi! my name is christy, i'm 26, and i live with my boyfriend, brian, and our cats rhett, sophie, and parker. i love cooking, and always have. my first "specialty" was deviled eggs, from a recipe i learned in kindergarten (no surprise, i normally got to make them for easter!). i don't have any one favorite cookbook, because i love to look for recipes everywhere-books, newspaper, and online ;). i've gone through many odd food phases in my short time, but i've always had a severe distaste for three things- bananas, whipped cream/cool whip, and most of all, mayonnaise. i like simple recipes, but sometimes, getting into a more involed recipe is almost therapeutic. and, i get a great reward in the end!
