Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup chopped onions
½ cup chopped celery
1 pound imitation crabmeat
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
½ cup water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
¼ teaspoon seafood seasoning
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup dry bread crumbs
¼ cup salted butter, melted

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in onions and celery. Cook and stir until vegetables have softened and are beginning to turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add crab, condensed soup, water, parsley, seafood seasoning, salt, garlic powder, and pepper; mix to combine. Heat until almost bubbling, about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and blend in Cheddar cheese until melted. Transfer to a 9-inch square casserole dish.
Mix bread crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl with a fork until combined. Spread over the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.
