Crab-Stuffed Flounder Recipe

 

Ingredients

• 2-2.5 lbs. fresh flounder fillets
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted
• 7-oz. can crabmeat, drained
• 1/2 cup saltine crackers, crushed
• 2 tbsp. dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• Dash of pepper
• Cheddar Cheese Topping (recipe follows)

 

Butter either 6 individual casserole dishes or one large 2 quart dish. Combine the onions, butter, seasonings, crabmeat and crackers. Roll the crabmeat mixture up in the flounder fillets. Bake uncovered 25 minutes at 400 degrees F.

 

In a saucepan, while the flounder is cooking, melt 3 tbsp. butter. Stir in 3 tbsp. flour and 1/4 tsp. salt. Simmer until bubbly and smooth, just a brief time. Add 1-1/2 cup milk, stirring constantly until it thickens. Stir in 1 cup grated Cheddar Cheese and stir until cheese is all melted. Remove casserole dish from oven after 25 min., pour cheese sauce over flounder and return to oven. Cook about 5 minutes longer. Remove and serve.
