A good friend of mine once said that there was nothing like food in Georgia. Boy was he right! This dish was served to me at a very informal "formal" dinner party. The informality was that we all just sat around and ate and talked. The formality was this dish and believe me, it is something I would never hesitate to serve to anyone. I was very glad he wasn't stingy with the recipe because I think I could eat this at least once a week!

SERVES 6 -8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 lb butter
1 bell pepper
1 small white onion
1 cup mushroom, sliced

2 tablespoons pimiento
1 dash salt
1 dash white pepper
1/2 cup sherry wine
1 lb large lump crabmeat (I use canned.)
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

1
In a large skillet, saute pepper and onion in butter; add mushrooms and flour.
2
Heat half-and-half separately and add gradually to keep consistency smooth.
3
Stir in pimiento, salt and white pepper to taste.
4
Pick through the crab and remove any shells or foreign objects.
5
Add the crab meat and sherry to sauce and heat through.
6
Scoop into individual ramekins or custard cups.

Top with grated cheese and put under oven broiler for a few minutes to brown.

As the last poster, I also changed some things due to diet concerns, and also so that I could use what was on-hand. I only used one stick of butter (margarine, actually), and I thought that was plenty. I used 1 cup 2% and 1 cup of skim milk in place of the half and half. I used Club Soda (strange, I know, but it was the only thing I had that was bubbly) instead of the Sherry. For the crab I used two cans, which, I think only came to 14 ounces or so. I didn't use as much cheese on top. I really enjoyed it though. It came out almost like a thick soup. I will definitely make it again and possibly with more accurate ingredients next time . Thanks
