Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Lump crabmeat (fresh or canned, drained)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 3 stalks Green onions (sliced thin)
- 1 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a medium-sized casserole dish with nonstick spray or butter and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until smooth.
Add the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and sliced green onions to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is evenly seasoned.
Gently fold in the lump crabmeat, making sure to keep the beautiful chunks intact.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it into an even layer.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with the melted butter, stirring until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the crab mixture.
Top the casserole with the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm with toasted bread, crackers, or over rice for a satisfying meal!
