Origin of Crab Cakes

Maryland crabs cakes have earned a mighty reputation of being the best in the world. Thanks to the wealth of resources found throughout the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland blue crabs have unsurpassed flavor that is well reflected in these tasty cakes! The first recipe for crab cakes was penned by Crosby Gaige in 1930, but it is thought that they were gaining in popularity before this. Combining crab with filler was a great way to stretch the meat and make a meal when times were tight during depression era thirties.

Easy Crab Cake Casserole

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup red bell pepper seeded and diced
• 1 cup yellow bell pepper seeded and diced
• 1 cup orange bell pepper seeded and diced
• 1/2 cup celery diced
• 1/2 cup yellow onion diced
• 16 oz Maryland Jumbo Lump Crab Cake mix

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly spritz a 13x9-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the bell peppers, celery, and onions, and sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

5. Add the sautéed veggies, 1/4 cup scallions, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, and liquid mixture to the bowl and gently stir to combine, set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
6. Once rested, transfer the casserole mix to the prepared casserole dish, and spread out in an even layer.
7. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until fluffy and slightly crisp around the edges.
8. Sprinkle the casserole with the remaining scallions and parmesan before serving.
