Imitation Crab Casserole
Ingredients (basic Recipe):
2 cups imitation crabmeat, shredded (I use all
12 oz).
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup cooked rice or 1 cup diced potato
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can of
cream of chicken soup
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, chopped
1/2 Lb fresh mushrooms, chopped
3/4 cup of buttered bread crumbs
Optional
ingredients (I add)
1 package slivered almonds
shredded cheddar cheese
jar of artichoke hearts, chopped
small package of small shrimp
French Fried Onions
Instead of adding butter to the bread crumbs I use Italian dressing.
In place of plain rice I use Knorr Rice Sides "Cheddar Broccoli" The entire
5.7 oz package.
Lawery's Seasoned Salt to taste or equivalent.
If you follow
the original recipe do this:
1. Mix all ingredients, except bread crumbs, together and put into a large
casserole dish.
2. Top with buttered bread crumbs
3. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
If you use my
added ingredients:
1. Add the slivered almonds & artichokes to the original mixture when
blending together.
2. Put 1/2 the mixture into the casserole dish then
sprinkle on the cheese and shrimp and some seasoned salt. Put the remainder of
the mixture on top then cover with the bread crumbs followed by the French
Fried Onions.
3. I bake the, now large, casserole at 350 for 40 minutes.
