This casserole is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The flavors are amazing and the crabmeat is cooked perfectly. I would definitely make this again for a special occasion.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover crabmeat. I usually make it with canned crabmeat, but I've also used fresh crabmeat when I have it on hand. It's always delicious.

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a hit. I love the creamy sauce and the crispy topping. I usually add a little extra Old Bay seasoning to give it a bit more flavor.
