Recipe of the day - Crab Casserole

I found this recipe in my 1990 Wingate Baptist Church cookbook.  My cousin Edith gave it to Mom for Christmas that year.  I have found several really tasty recipes from this book and when I was looking to try something new, I started looking in the book and found this recipe.  Hope you enjoy!

Crab Casserole
1 lb. crabmeat
3 beaten eggs
1 tsp. prepared mustard
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 chopped onion
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Dash of hot sauce
1 cup bread crumbs
1/3 cup melted butter

Preheat oven to 350.  Chop crabmeat.  Add all other ingredients except for butter and bread crumbs.  Mix well.  Place in 2 quart casserole.  Mix butter with bread crumbs.  Sprinkle on top.  Bake 45 minutes.  Cheese may be sprinkled on top as well if desired.  Serves 6.  (Freezes well)

*I used canned crabmeat because that's what I had on hand.  It worked well but canned crab gives it more of a dip consistency, so I served it over rice.
*I used stuffing mix instead of bread crumbs and that worked well.

Enjoy!
