Do you drain can of crab?
If it has a lot of liquid, I would suggest draining.
Leftovers? Did you really say “leftovers?”
You don’t know my family! I’m taking this to our next gathering and a stopwatch!
haha!
maybe I missed it but how many 12oz cans of fancy (brands also)
crab meat do you use ?
1 can
your recipe sounds good....the only thing I'd change is put in Old Bay seasoning instead of the hot sauce....then you're just about at a Maryland crab cake!!! Come on summer!
oooo, I love Old Bay seasoning!! I will have to try it that way too. Thanks! And I agree.... come on summer! 🙂
