This casserole was okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably won't make it again.

This recipe is a waste of time. The ingredients are expensive and the casserole is not worth the effort.

This casserole was a disaster. The crab was overcooked and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe.
