Very good and easy

I'm afraid I'm used to a little spicier crab cake, so these just didn't taste like what I expected. I did add some diced red and green bell peppers to the mix. This did mix up easily and cooked quickly, which is a plus in my book! Thanks for sharing!

These were very good. I had an 8 oz container of crab (it said it was about 1 1/3 cups). I used it all and left everything else the same except I used the whole egg. It made 3 good-size cakes, which will be enough for me for two meals (1 1/2 each). I served on a bed of lettuce. Thanks for the recipe!
