Delicious Deviled Crab Casserole Recipe
Author: Shelly Hill
If you enjoy seafood dishes, especially crab meat, I think you will appreciate this casserole recipe. We enjoy making this recipe a few times every year for family dinners or as a special treat.
You will want to make sure that you use genuine crab meat and not packaged imitation meat. Using imitation meat will give it a different flavor and it doesn't hold together as well as the real stuff. In addition, do not freeze left-overs as this doesn't freeze well. If you do not have a double boiler, you can make the recipe in a nonstick large saucepan.

1 lb. genuine crab meat (not imitation)
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the 4 tablespoons of butter in a double boiler, slowly stir in the all-purpose flour, parsley, lemon juice, mustard, horseradish sauce, salt, red pepper and milk. Continue heating the mixture, stirring constantly until it has thickened. Stir in the chopped crab meat and chopped eggs and stir for 1 additional minute.
