Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Crabmeat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, gently mix the crabmeat with paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.

2

Make the Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until bubbly. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

3

Combine and Bake

Fold the seasoned crabmeat into the cheese sauce. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with breadcrumbs and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

4

Serve

Let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Crabmeat Prentiss hot!
