Best Crab Casserole
A creamy and cheesy crab casserole that is perfect for gatherings and special occasions.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb imitation crab meat chopped or shredded
- 3 green onions chopped (white and green parts included)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is essential to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, garlic powder, mustard powder, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully blended. (Tip: Use a hand mixer for a smoother consistency.)
- Gently fold in the shredded Swiss cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Scoop the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the mixture is hot and bubbly. (Tip: Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking.)
- Five minutes before the cooking time is over, sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top. This will create a deliciously melted layer on the casserole.
- Continue baking until the cheddar cheese is melted and slightly golden.
