Cheesy Crabmeat Casserole Recipe With Vegetables Is Addictive & So Easy to Make by Melissa Vickers
Here’s a crab recipe that started as a copycat recipe for that cheesy dish I often see on a Chinese buffet. I decided I wanted to add a little more nutrition than just the (imitation) crab meat and all the cheese, so I added the vegetables: mushrooms, potatoes, spinach and celery.
I made this easy casserole recipe more like a meal than an appetizer! Serve it for dinner with a fresh garden salad.
Cuisine: Chinese / American
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 30 to 40 minutes
Total Time: 45 to 55 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
- 1 cup shredded fiesta blend cheese or your favorite cheese (divided)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 cup milk (I use almond milk)
- 1 package (8 ounces) imitation crab, shredded
- 3/4 pound tiny potatoes, pre-steamed for 5 minutes to cut down oven time
- 5 medium mushrooms, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 bag fresh spinach (about 4 to 5 ounces)
Here’s how to make it:
- In a large bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, garlic and half of shredded cheese. Stir in milk.
- Add crab meat and all the vegetables. Stir to combine. Cover with remaining shredded cheese.
- Dump the mixture into a casserole dish. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove foil, check potatoes with a fork to make sure they have softened and bake, uncovered, for another 10 minutes or until bubbly.
Note: When I made this I didn’t precook the potatoes and it took much longer in the oven to get them soft.
