How to Make Baked Crab Casserole
- Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper. Sauté until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat.
- Add the cooked pasta to the vegetable mixture.
- Stir in 1 1/2 pounds lump crab meat, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste).
- Grease two 8-inch baking dishes.
- Divide the crab mixture evenly between the prepared dishes.
- Sprinkle generously with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cover one dish tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for later.
- Cover the second dish with foil.
- Bake the uncovered casserole at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
