A crab love supreme

My absolute favorite receipt for Cougar Gold is called Crab Supreme. Split a sourdough English muffin and slather on Miracle Whip generously. Layer on gobs of fresh Dungeness crab. Cover with slices of Cougar Gold. Broil in oven until the cheese melts and starts to slightly brown. Heaven is now on your plate and ready to eat! Can’t be beat.
