I made these for the Super Bowl. They are AWESOME!!!! My husband who normally does not like that much crab even LOVED them.

Also, the package of Old English muffins that I bought had I think 6 in it, so, cut in two made 12 rounds. (This is the brand she used on her show) And the mixture covered all 12 rounds. I cooked some and froze the other ones for later since it was just the two of us. I froze them seperate so when I wanted another one last night, I just popped it in the oven.

Here's the recipe:

Crabbies

Ingredients:
8 ounce good white crabmeat, picked free of all shells
1 (5-ounce) jar Old English cheese
2 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
dash Paula Deen's hot sauce or cayenne pepper
8 large toasted bread rounds

Directions:
Mix all ingredients except bread. Divide mixture evenly over bread rounds and spread. Score each round into quarters and place on a baking sheet. Have oven preheated to 425 degrees. Spray baking sheet. Place crabbies on a baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley. Serve hot. These freeze and store well for drop-in company.

Yield: 8 servings
Preparation time: 10 minutes, plus time to freeze
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Ease of preparation: Easy

I used the store brand of the canned crabmeat. In my Walmart, the cheese was with the parmesean cheese and the pizza kits and sauce.

My husband is not crazy about crab meat like I am, but he loved these. Maybe yours will too.

I think they would be good with shrimp in them, too! MMM!! I am wanting one now.:chef:
