Beryl's Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

From Beryl ....a co-worker of Mike's...I couldn't stop eating these and they were a hit at the New Years party I made them for also!

1 lb. fresh mushrooms
1 T. butter
1/2 lb. crab meat
2 8 oz. packages cream cheese
2 T. mayonnaise
1 tsp. garlic salt
5 to 10 drops of Tabasco Sauce

Clean mushrooms and removed stems. Set caps aside. Chop stems and saute in melted butter. Add remaining ingredients and heat til smooth. Bake covered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Spoon hot mixture into mushroom caps. Top them with shredded cheese and dust them with Old Bay spice. Place them back in the oven, just to melt the cheese.

** Mixture can also be served as a dip on chips or crackers if you're not a mushroom fan!

I've only bought crab meat in a can for crab cakes. Would that work or do I go to the meat department and get it fresh?

I used fresh, but it was very expensive, so I'm going to try it with canned and I'll let you know how it goes.
Do you have a good crab cake recipe?

I used a good crab cake recipe a long time ago but have since lost it or thrown it away. I now just make tuna cakes- cheaper!

Joe introduced me to these, and Paula Deen has a recipe for them on Food Network . So I am jumping to the conclusion that they are popular in the South... :) Here's how we made ours. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat. You want to heat to about 350 degrees, so we used a candy thermometer to monitor the temp. Prepare the toppings. Note - For the toppings, we didn't actually measure any of the ingredients, just eyeballed it. But this is about how much we used. Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside.

Auntie Katie's Pizza Dough

1 pkg Yeast (1TB) 1 TB Sugar 1 1/2 C Really warm water Put the water in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top and let set until foamy. For extra speed I set the bowl in the sink with HOT water surrounding the bowl. This will help the yeast activate faster. Add 2 1/2 C Flour 1 tsp Salt Mix all together. Let rise until double in bulk. (For a speedy trick I put it in the oven on no more than 100 to help it rise faster.) Punch down and grease one cookie sheet and spread dough over to fit the sheet. Don't put toppings on it yet. Poke it with a fork just enough so it doesn't puff up. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Or just before it turns brown. Bring it out and top with sauce and cheese and toppings. Put it back in the oven and bake until cheese melts. For me it is all about the sauce you use and the kind of cheese I still have yet to find the perfect combo but we LOVE the crust especially since you pre bake you won't ever have it come out doughy. Enjoy
