Default Red Lobster`s Crab Au Gratin

Red Lobster`s Crab Au Gratin

8 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onion, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, scalded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 dash of white pepper
1/4 cup sherry
12 ounces crab meat
1 cup crackers, finely crumbled
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated

Crumble crackers between waxed paper with a rolling pin.

Reserve just enough crumbs and cheese to top the casserole.

Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy skillet.

Add onion and sautee for about 5 minutes or until golden. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly over low heat.

When flour is blended, gradually add hot milk (scalded) and blend with a whip.

Continue stirring over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Add salt, pepper, and sherry, and continue stirring in a bowl.

Mix crab meat, sauce, and the extra cracker crumbs and cheese.

Place in a lightly greased baking dish.

Sprinkle reserved cracker crumbs and cheese on the top of the casserole. Dot the top with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter.

Bake uncovered at 350F for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
