There are some recipes that should be put on the top of the list for 5 star reviews only. This is one of those recipes! I made this using a superior king crab and it was well worth it! In step 7: to the white sauce I added the sauteed vegetables, the hot sauce, crab and seasoned with salt and pepper. I did not have shredded cheddar on hand, so I subbed with a shredded cheddar jack combination, which worked beautifully! I divided this into 2 portions and baked in two individual casserole dishes. The flavor of this is truly sensational and I hope to make it again soon. This is a company worthy recipe! Thank you so much for sharing this one!
