Crabmeat and Cheese Casserole Recipe

Ingredients

1 pound crabmeat

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

1/4 onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Slice the cooked crabmeat into bite size pieces. Place the pieces in a bowl and stir in butter, flour and cheese. Mix well.

Drain the crabmeat and reserve 8 ounces for further grilling. Stir the reserved crabmeat into the crabmeat mixture. Sprinkle the reserved crabmeat mixture over the crabmeat.

Slice the green bell pepper and slice the onion into small pieces. Slice the green pepper into small pieces. Place the cut ends of peppers into pockets of saltine cracker crumbs. Shape nothing into a large enough sandwich to keep everything together. Place crackers into a large resealable plastic bag with a small hole in the center.

Mix together the crabmeat mixture and sauce; stir into the sauce. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Fold in 1/2 cup of the crabmeat mixture.

Place the crabmeat mixture over the cracker crumbs, and arrange the remaining crabmeat mixture over the cracker crumbs. Arrange dishes on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50 minutes.

I submitted this recipe many years ago as an experiment when I was learning about discount soup kitchens. They use hard tomatoes and garlic powder so I decided to change it to non-fat plain old chicken broth. The new recipe has significantly improved the nutritional value of the dish and is truly wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing.
