ingredients

8 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onion, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, scalded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash white pepper
1/4 cup sherry
12 ounces crab meat
1 cup crackers, finely crumbled
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, finely grated

directions

Crumble crackers between waxed paper with a rolling pin. Reserve just enough crumbs and cheese to top the casserole. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy skillet. Add onion and saute for about 5 minutes or until golden. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly over low heat. When flour is blended, gradually add hot milk (scalded) and blend with a whip.

Continue stirring over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Add salt, pepper, and sherry, and continue stirring in a bowl. Mix crab meat, sauce, and the extra cracker crumbs and cheese. Place in a lightly greased baking dish.

Sprinkle reserved cracker crumbs and cheese on the top of the casserole. Dot the top with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

  1. Dottie REVIEW:

    I disagree with Judy about the sherry overwhelming the taste. I have made this recipe several times from tailgaiting to holiday parties and everyone raves about it to the very last bite. It can be served hot or even cold as a leftovers. It has been used as an appetizer, main course or dip with crackers.

  2. Jody REVIEW:

    The taste of the Sherry overwhelmes the dish. It has a very bitter taste.
