Tip!
This casserole is easy to vary, by substituting the crab meat for canned tuna, or other cooked fish like mackerel or shrimp. If you would like to make this dish even more gourmet, feel free to use parmesan cheese or gruyère for some extra wonderful layers of flavor. You may like spinach, olives, sundried tomatoes - feel free to express your inner foodieness.
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Sounds delicious! Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, that should be fine.
That's a tough one without having it right in front of me. A 10 oz dish should be fine for one serving. You can always make a 1.5 or a double batch and freeze the leftovers to be safe.
In most cases, canned crab meat is 100% crab rather than the starchy/fish glue that is imitation crab. Different stores may have it in different locations, please ask your store's customer service desk if you need assistance locating canned 100% crab.
Sounds great, Bob!
