Crab Casserole Recipe From Chinese Buffet

RE: Crab Casserole Recipe From Chinese Buffet Post By Nolasandy (Guest Post) (08/21/2007) Hi, Mike and Smilie, I know, I also feel so greatful to you, Gayle, for the Crab Recipe. I am still searching for the Spinach Casserole and I am almost positive it has mayonnaise in it. I am wondering what to add or change to the Crab Casserole recipe ingredients (minus the crab) to develope the Spinach Casserole Recipe. They both have a lot of similar tastes. Any ideas out there? RE: Crab Casserole Recipe From Chinese Buffet Post By Mike (Guest Post) (08/21/2007) I am also looking for both these recipes and am grateful for the Crab Casserole recipe -- sounds like the one I want. I have not tried the following recipes but they sound like they could be close to what we are looking for. SPINACH AU GRATIN 1 Tbsp. butter 10 oz. spinach, chopped, frozen, defrosted and drained 1 Tbsp. flour 1 cup Swiss cheese, grated 1 cup half and half Melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the half and half. Simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in the spinach. Place in a small casserole dish. Top with the cheese and place under the broiler until lightly browned. Serve immediately. Serves 4. SPINACH MARIE 2 1/2 cups milk 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. dry mustard 3/4 pound Cheddar cheese, cubed 1/2 tsp. garlic salt (3) 10 oz. pkgs. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained 1 Tbsp. butter 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese 3 Tbsp. melted butter Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine milk, dry mustard and garlic salt. Bring to a slow boil and simmer for 2 minutes. In a small skillet or saucepan heat 1 Tbsp. butter over medium heat. Saute onion until browned; stir into milk. In a small skillet or saucepan combine 3 Tbsp. melted butter with flour. Cook over medium-low heat until thickened; stir into milk. To the milk mixture add the Cheddar cheese, mixing well to melt. Stir in spinach. Pour mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until thoroughly heated. Yields 8 servings.

RE: Crab Casserole Recipe From Chinese Buffet Post By Nolasandy (Guest Post) (08/16/2007) I think that the crab in the buffets are the imitation crab meat, so I am pretty sure it could be used. Does anyone have a good spinach recipe as noted in the main question?
