Print Recipe

This Best Crab Casserole Recipe combines creamy textures and tender crab meat for a comforting dish that warms the soul. It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner and sure to impress your family and friends.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the casserole cooks evenly from the get-go.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the imitation crab meat, minced onion, mayo, sour cream, and cream cheese. Use a spatula to mix until all ingredients are well incorporated, with no lumps of cream cheese remaining.
  3. Add the grated Swiss cheese, garlic powder, and dried parsley to the mixture. Stir well to combine. The Swiss cheese adds a nutty flavor that complements the crab perfectly.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Make sure there are no air pockets to ensure consistent cooking.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the edges are bubbling and the top has turned a light golden brown.
  6. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. This resting time helps the casserole set, making it easier to serve.

Nutrition

Keywords: To avoid a watery casserole, be sure to drain any excess liquid from the imitation crab meat before mixing. Consider adding breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter on top for a crunchier topping.
