2 cans Crab meat (I use white Lump) rinsed well and drained (I find it at a good price at Super Walmart or Super target)
Whole Mushrooms- I use either baby bella or a larger sized white not the BIG plate sized ones but ones marked for stuffing
Butter (melted) or margarine
Parmesan cheesebread crumbs - (Italian seasoned kind)
Wash off mushrooms *See note
Snap off stem to leave a nice open cap
place so open caps are facing up on a cookie sheet **
Stuffing:
Rinse and drain crab meat
it's about 1/2 to 3/4 cup bread crumbs -you just want enough so that it will help make a stuffing but not overpower the crab
add melted butter to make mixture moist- not runny - just moist so it will bind it together
add a teaspoon or so of cheese and mix up
Stuff mushroom caps till full but not overflowing
bake in a 350 degree oven for about 10 minutes - maybe 15 minutes
just so mushrooms are done but not soggy
I can't say how many this will make but it fills up normally 3 cookie sheets
* they say not to wash mushrooms, but I do and rub them off with a veggie brush
**I always put foil down so stuff doesn't overflow and burn the caps
Let me know if you have any questions- like I said it's a bit of a guess as Nana never had a real recipe, she just added stuff till it looked right and tasted OK
