How to Make Crabmeat Au Gratin

Step-by-Step

Saute onions and celery in butter. Blend in flour. Pour in milk, stirring constantly. Temper egg yolks by adding a little of the mixture to the eggs and stirring until well blended. Add back to the pan. Add salt and peppers. Cook 5 minutes on medium low heat. Put crab meat in large bowl pour cooked sauce over crab meat blending well. Add mushrooms.
Place in a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle with cheese.

** Note - Now that my family has grown by two son-in-laws that love to eat - I found I need to double this recipe... I doubled all ingredients except the crabmeat - I added 1 pound of boiled shrimp..
