It was great!! I used real crab and put in extra crab and cheese.

Even my daughter who doesn't like seafood thought this recipe should probably go in our favorites. :)

This was great but I did add some Old Bay seasoning to it, love the flavors.

I used real crab in mine and it was delicious. Top it off with some hot sauce and it was perfect

I made this on Christmas morning. The red and green colors were very festive. I normally don't like to cook with the fake crab but my family and I really enjoyed it.

This is such an awesome recipe!! I made it for my Sunday School, 2 - 9X13 pans, and only got to take home a 2"X2" square!!! One pan, I sauteed down portabello mushrooms with the onion and it added such a depth of flavor. The other, in addition to the swiss cheese, I put in monterey-cheddar shredded cheese, and both were absolutely delicious. Till this day (over a year later!), my Sunday School class members still talk about it. Guess it's time to make another one :)

It was delicious, but be sure to get a deep dish pie crust! I bought a regular crust and spilled the filling all over. Dinner was delayed by nearly an hour, but it was definitely worth the wait.
