I came across this recipe years ago in an old church cookbook. It's so good, I've even served it for Christmas Eve dinner. Ingredients:
1 small onion, finely chopped |
1/4 cup diced green pepper |
3 tablespoons butter, divided |
1 tablespoon king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3/4 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon chili powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 pound fresh or canned crabmeat, drained, flaked and cartilage removed or 1 cup imitation crabmeat, flaked |
1/3 cup mayonnaise |
dash hot pepper sauce |
2 tablespoons dry bread crumbs |
dash paprika |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, saute onion and green pepper in 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in flour until blended; gradually stir in the milk. Add chili powder and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in the crab, mayonnaise and hot pepper sauce.
2. Transfer to a greased shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Melt the remaining butter and toss with bread crumbs. Sprinkle over crab mixture. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with paprika. Yield: 2-3 servings.
