CREAMY CRAB CASSEROLE



Creamy Crab Casserole image

A recipe from my old English teacher who makes this every Christmas Eve for her family. My family joined theirs one Christmas Eve and fell in love with this entree! I couldn't find white Worcestershire sauce, so I just used the regular. Also, if you're on a budget, crab can be expensive at times, so I've done half crab/half shrimp in this recipe and it's just as great.

Provided by kdr_7

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb special lump crabmeat
8 ounces softened cream cheese
1 teaspoon dry mustard
3/4 teaspoon white Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup mayonnaise (I use sour cream)
1/2 cup sauteed celery
1/2 cup sauteed onion

Steps:

  • Blend cheese, mustard, worcheshire sauce and sour cream till smooth.
  • Stir in celery and onion.
  • Fold in crab meat.
  • Put into quiche dish that has been sprayed with Pam.
  • Sprinkle with Old Bay or paprika.
  • Bake at 350 degress for 35-40 minutes.
  • I always double, and sometime even triple, this recipe.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or frozen crab meat for the best flavor. Fresh crab meat is best, but frozen crab meat can also be used. Thaw frozen crab meat completely before using.
  • Choose a good quality breadcrumb topping. The breadcrumb topping adds a nice crunch to the casserole. Use a breadcrumb topping that you like, or make your own by combining breadcrumbs, butter, and seasonings.
  • Don't overcook the casserole. The casserole should be cooked until the crab meat is heated through and the topping is golden brown. Overcooking will make the crab meat tough.
  • Serve the casserole immediately. The casserole is best served hot out of the oven. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Crab casserole is an easy and delicious seafood dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The casserole is made with crab meat, vegetables, and a creamy sauce, and it is topped with a breadcrumb topping. Crab casserole can be served as a main course or as a side dish, and it is perfect for any occasion.
