Crab Casserole

I love imitation crab, why? Its easy to find and so much cheaper (for my location) than fresh crab. If you west / east coasters want to use fresh crab have at it. Savor a bite of it for me!

Seriously this is good, every time I make it I end up eating way too much of it. Yes its that good!!

8oz pasta, cooked (I use spiral but use what you like, be creative)
2 cans cream of mushroom (or celery) soup (homemade works wonders)
1 1/2 cups milk
5 tbsp butter
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 lb imitation crab meat

Whisk together soup, milk and butter
Add green pepper, pasta, crab, parmesan, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
Place in 9x13 casserole dish, lightly greased if you'd like
Top with remanding cheddar cheese
Bake at 350 for 20mins

Fee free to play around with this recipe, it is rather good. Add more veggies like celery, coloured peppers, broccoli, onions, saute them to bring out a new range of flavours. Use your family favourite seasonings.

This can be frozen! Instead of baking put it in the freezer for up to one month.
Reheating: Defrost in fridge up to 24 hours, remove 30 minutes before baking. Cover and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes, or until heated through.
