Number Of Ingredients 12

6 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup green onion
1/4 cup parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic
1 lb crabmeat
1 tablespoon creole seasoning (I use Tony Chachere's, amount can be adjusted to personal taste)
2 tablespoons flour
hot sauce (I use Frank's)
1 cup clam broth or 1 cup clam juice
1 cup shredded medium cheddar
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F.

  • In a separate saucepan, melt remaining butter over medium heat, add 2 Tbsp flour and lightly brown, stirring occasionally.
  • Slowly add stock and continue cooking until mixture begins to thicken.
  • Add ½ of cheddar cheese, stir until melted.
  • Pour mixture into crab and carefully stir.
  • Turn into greased casserole and top with remaining cheddar and mozzarella.
  • Bake 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve hot as a main course or with toasted French bread or crackers for a great hot appetizer.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crabmeat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crabmeat, frozen crabmeat will also work.
