Ingredients
- 1 pound imitation crab meat
- 1/2 large onion, minced
- 1/4 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 4 ounces cream cheese (half a block)
- 1 cup grated swiss cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
This step ensures that your oven is at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake the casserole.
Step 2: Prepare the Crab Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the imitation crab meat, finely chopped onion, mayonnaise, sour cream, cream cheese, shredded Swiss cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley.
Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and has a creamy texture.
Step 3: Assemble the Casserole
Pour the creamy crab mixture into a casserole dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly and create a smooth layer.
This ensures that the cook is consistent throughout the dish.
Step 4: Optional Extra Cheese Layer
If you love extra cheese, sprinkle an additional layer of shredded cheese on top of the crab mixture.
This step is optional but adds an extra cheesy goodness to your casserole.
Step 5: Bake the Casserole
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your delicious, cheesy crab casserole!
