Crab Casserole

Every time I have a coupon for crab from my local wholesale club, I buy it.  And really most of the time I make crab cakes with it.  Not because I haven't a clue what else to make with it.  There are really lots of options.  I make crab cakes because I love crab cakes.  It is a once a year treat.  Maybe sometimes I get lucky and buy it twice.  This time I did do something different but really honestly not so entirely different.  I made crab cake casserole.  Basically it is everything that would go in a crab cake but put in a casserole dish instead.  It was like the lazy mans woman's way of making crab cakes without all the fuss. It was super easy and super yummy.  Little of this, little of that and botta bing you're done.

CRAB CAKE CASSEROLE

16 ounces crab (I used claw meat)
1 cup celery chopped
1/2 cup onion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup fine bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350F.  In a bowl, combine all ingredients.  Coat 5 - two cup ramekins with oil, butter or cooking spray.  Divide mixture between the five bowls.  Cover and bake for 20 minutes.  Remove foil and bake an additional twenty minutes.

It's nice you don't have to worry if they stick together or not.
