Excellent! I added a pound of shrimp that I had cooked in pepper butter garlic powder with a sprinkle of Tonys...yum yum ..... -
Thanks for posting! My DH loves stuffed crabs, but they're hard to come by where we live. I didn't have evaporated milk, so I added some dry nonfat milk powder to the cup of skim milk I used, and I also omitted the bread crumb topping, because I didn't have that either. Still yummy. I didn't have shells to stuff, so I used a cupcake pan. The muffin-shaped servings popped right out and cleanup was a breeze. They may have looked a little funny, but everyone thought they tasted great! -
Outstanding! A light flavored casserole that let the flavor of the crab shine through. I made 2 changes: used only half of butter called for and substituted skim milk for evaporated milk, as I had no evaporated milk. I topped casserole with Panko bread crumbs, placed in 9x13x2-inch casserole, and baked about 25 minutes. This is a winner I'll be making again and again.
