How To Make A Crab Casserole - Easy Crab Casserole Recipe

Welcome back to another episode of Be Sure to Cook. Today we're making a crab casserole. So stay tuned and let's do this. Okay we're going to start off with two sticks of celery. Okay so now I'm going to run my knife over these. I don't want them too chunky. I just think this goes really good in what the dish that I'm going to make. I mean I'll happen to like, I like yellow onion too. You know sweet onion. You can get all kind of onion. So then I'm going to start dicing some more. Now we're going to take these and we're going to start cooking them. So let's go over to the stove. Okay I'm adding three tablespoons, three tablespoons of butter. I'll be good. I use that low fat butter you know for your healthy heart. Smart balance but you can use any butter you want. Let's just get these in here. I'm gonna soften these babies up. Okay as you start to cook, you don't want to overcook this. I'm gonna add a little bit of white pepper and then a little bit of garlic powder to give a little flavor. I'm not using any, just a little bit. You know just shake shake shake and you want to stir this up. You want to make sure all that gets inside there. Okay so now I want to pull this with that butter and everything in the pan into a bowl and I want it to cool down a little. Okay I'm gonna take some Philadelphia cream cheese with chives. I'm gonna be adding some more chives myself to them but I'm gonna take this and I'm gonna open up and I'm gonna empty out this whole jar. So with the chives I'm gonna sprinkle about another teaspoon of chives, a one-fourth teaspoon of garlic powder and I'm just gonna sprinkle in some white pepper to give it a little you know peppery taste. Yeah and I'm gonna mix all this up with this cream cheese and I'm gonna make sure I mix it up really good. About two spoons of mayonnaise and I'm gonna mix all this up together. Now I'm gonna add, come on guys my missus dead, I'm only adding a little. I'm just gonna sprinkle a little bit in there. I didn't want any color but you're not gonna see that. Imitation crab. You can get any and I got the flaky style kind. You can get any kind you want. You can get the chunks, you get the flaky. I happen to like the flaky. So I'm gonna take it out and I'm gonna add, this is about maybe a cup. There they are cooling off. I'm just gonna go ahead and scrape all of that with all that the butter that I have in there and the seasoning that I put in there. I'm gonna take that scrape that in to my mixture and I'm just gonna fold all this in together putting my chunk of crab in here. Oh yeah that's what I'm looking for. You know if you have a lot of people you want to make a great big one just do more cream cheese, more mayonnaise. I got a triple cheese. I got shredded Vermont, white cheddar, sharp cheddar and mild cheddar cheese and I'm just gonna take and sprinkle and it's you know already you know you can get any type of cheese. I'm gonna sprinkle a little in here and I'm gonna mix this up. All right I'm gonna start dumping this into my pan. 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. Okay I am mixing some Vermont cheddar, some white cheddar, some sharp cheddar and some mild cheddar and I'm adding not even a half a cup maybe one fourth cup. Okay so this is still hot very much hot so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this cheese and I'm gonna stick it back in here so I can get this nice and bubbly. I'm gonna put that cheese right over there because we just want that to melt over it and then we're gonna take about 15 not even 15 minutes about 5 or 10 minutes for this to melt and those I'm gonna add a little bit more chives on top of this dish. I just put it to measure these out so this is about you know one of these little cups of chives here. Back in the oven for about two to three minutes until it's nice and melted. Okay and uh-oh I wanted to burn my board. There you go. All right so it melted and here it is. Please like, share and subscribe to my YouTube channel. Hey guys come back next time.
