This was excellent. First time ever that I worked with crabmeat. Used the really good stuff; fresh from the seafood dept at Wegmans. I did not add celery or onion. I used these really small sweet red and yellow peppers. After making them, I topped with shaved locatelli cheese. They were to die for. However, they were missing something very faint... which would not have been a problem had I added the onion. I will make these again, but be sure to add the onion and celery. Oh, I also used butter instead of margerine and I used minced roasted elephant garlic. Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe!!!

This recipe was great! However, as a few others mentioned, I tweaked it just a little. I added 1 egg white and a tablespoon of light mayo to moisten it rather than using water. I also added freshly chopped basil and parsley. I left out the cayenne pepper and no cheese on top. I used canned lump crab meat and seasoned bread crumbs as well as real butter instead of margarine. I put the mix into mild and hot banana peppers. They were a huge hit! Will definitely make again!

a delicious and elegant dish. the sweetness of the bell peppers (i used orange peppers) is complemented perfectly by the sweetness of the crab. i used lump crabmeat and added about 1T of light mayo and an egg white to the mixture, which lent it some moistness. i also used some fresh cracked pepper and parsley - topped with grated cheddar, it made an excellent meal.

I have been testing quite a few of the new ones I have found on Recipezaar. There are a lot of great cooks here.
