Time 35m

1 10-3/4 oz can reduced-fat or fat-free condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 c light sour cream
1 lb fresh crabmeat, coarsely chopped
10 oz fresh asparagus, chopped
1/4 tsp pepper

  • Don't overcook the crab: Crab meat is very delicate and can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Be sure to cook it just until it is opaque and heated through.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: The different cheeses in this recipe (cheddar, Parmesan, and mozzarella) all have different flavors and textures that complement each other well. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses to create your own unique crab casserole.
  • Add some vegetables: If you want to add some extra nutrition to your crab casserole, you can add some chopped vegetables, such as onions, celery, or bell peppers.
  • Serve with a side salad: A simple green salad is a great way to round out a meal of crab casserole. The salad will help to lighten up the dish and add some extra freshness.
