Step by Step Method

Step 1

Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet. Add onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until golden. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly over low heat. Continue cooking for several minutes, then gradually add hot milk.

Step 2

Stir over low heat until the sauce thickens and begins to boil. Add salt, pepper, and wine. Fold in crab meat. Reserve enough crumbs and cheese to top the casserole, and then stir the remainder into the sauce. Place in a lightly greased shallow baking dish.

Step 3

Sprinkle the remaining cracker crumbs and cheese on the top of the casserole. Dot the top with 1 tablespoon butter.

Step 4

Bake uncovered at 350F for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Made exactly according to directions, this was so thick I had to add almost 1/2 cup of milk in order to be able to mix in the cracker crumbs. Even then, it was so thick I had to cut it with the side of my fork for each bite, so I have no idea how it could ever be used as a dip. The taste is very good, though, and I'll be making it again with some tweaking. EDIT: Made this again, using 1 1/2 cups of milk and 2 extra tablespoons of butter, and it was perfect! The taste is definitely good, it was just too thick for me as written.
