We LOVED this recipe and I KNOW I will be making it again!! We're planning on adding fresh corn if it's in season next time we make this. Thanks for a great recipe!!

This was really good. I used imitation crab and skim milk. My only complaint was that it was not as thick as I'd have hoped. I used about 1/4 c. of potato flakes because I was out of crakers, but that didn't thicken it as much as I'd have liked. I think I will try the cracker next time and use one more potato.

Excellent recipe! I made as posted except I did not garnish with the bacon ~ just personal preference. I used some butter instead of the bacon fat. This would be a great recipe for any special occasion! Thanks for posting!

Thanks, Bev! Terrific Recipe! I added 1/2 cup of chopped celery to the recipe. When I prepared my bowl, I dropped in a few seasoned bread crumbs and chopped Spring Onions. The flavor was absolutely great! I'll make this one again!
