Steps:
- Mix all ingredients, except bread crumbs, together and put into a casserole.
- (This is a big recipe--you may need to use 2.) Top with buttered bread crumbs.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality imitation crab meat: Look for imitation crab meat that is made with real crab meat and has a flaky texture. Avoid imitation crab meat that is made with surimi, which is a type of processed fish.
- Don't overcook the casserole: Imitation crab meat is delicate and can easily overcook. Cook the casserole until the sauce is bubbly and the crab meat is heated through, but not longer.
- Serve the casserole immediately: Imitation crab meat casserole is best served immediately after it is made. The casserole will start to lose its flavor and texture if it is reheated.
- Garnish the casserole with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or dill, can add a pop of color and flavor to the casserole.

Imitation crab meat casserole is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking.
