This was different. I added some to it like a red bellpepper and tomatoes and added veriety of spices. Still turned out kind of mushy but it was good. I think this is a dish to play with. I think if you add more vegetables to it you can skip the milk and eggs all together or at least the milk because of natural juuces from veggies. For spices I used garlic powder, salt, pepper and italian seasoning. All in all if I make it again if I am going to use egg I will leave out the tomatoe.I really dont think I will make it again at least not my way. If I do make it I will have to do some configuring.

This recipe was not good at all. When prepared as directed, you end up with a quiche layer on top of a layer of bland gooey crabby mush. So it was not a total waste, I had to break up the quiche layer into the crab layer, then add about 3 more cups of HARD breadcrumbs. To give it some flavor, I added Old Bay seasoning. I then had to put it back in the oven on 425° F for about 20 minutes. The final product ended up more suitable... a little too bready, but at least the liquid had been soaked up. Whoever enjoyed this casserole as is, I question your judgement.

With the exception of using regular mushroom soup, I followed this recipe exactly. It was pretty tasty but the texture is mush. I want to experiment with this ... maybe add some chopped bell peppers (red & green), decrease the milk and cooking time. Sprinkle some seasoned bread crumbs on top (maybe seasoned with Old Bay type seasoning). A good start for a recipe, definitely easy, needs some tweaking for flavoring and texture. -
Excellent casserole. I used brown rice whole grain bread and soy milk. It was fantastic. I will make this again. -
OMG. I love the crabmeat casserole I get on the buffet at my favorite chinese resteraunt so I thought I'd try your recipe (sounded close). Wow, Bingo, we have a winner! I also WAS going to take a pic and post it, but I ate it. Yes, I ate it all. Sorry, maybe next time... Very simple, and boy is it GOOOOOOD! I didn't have real crab so I had to use my imatation, OMG is this Goooooood.

I am happily married to my best friend and we just bought our first house! No kids but we have 2 little dogs that we think the world of. I was born in California and although I have been on the East Coast for most of my life I am still displaced! I love the beach and hate the cold! In our free time we love to go to the beach or the mountains and hike or intertube down the lazy Shenendoah River. It is so beautiful there! I have loved to cook all of my life and will read cookbooks like they are novels!
