I made these for dinner last evening, using crab meat picked from Saturday’s leftover crabs. The recipe is Scott’s grandmother’s, and it’s a real crowd pleaser.
Ingredients:
12 ounces crab meat (I used lump, backfin, and claw from about eight crabs, but you can use canned – drained well)
5 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon Miracle Whip
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
1 jar Kraft Old English cheese spread
1 package of 6 English muffins, split (I lowered the calories a little by using Thomas’ new Triple Health muffins – 100 calories per whole muffin, as compared to 120 calories in the “original recipe”)
Directions:
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over very low heat. Stir in Miracle Whip and Old English Cheese until well blended. Remove from heat and gently fold in crab. Place a small scoop of mixture on each of twelve muffin halves. Spread lightly with a spatula. Season with Old Bay seasoning. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in a 400 degree oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Cool slightly (they will be super HOT) and enjoy!

English Muffins for dinner – I’m in!
Oh, YUM!
I wonder if this would be good with biscuits from a can instead of English muffins? (I got a good deal on those.)

Ooohh, I’m sure they would! Let me know if you try it 🙂
ok.
Those look like perfect crabbies. You know I’d never figured out how to eat crabs until I went down to N. Carolina. There’s a place called Dirty Dicks that’s supposed to have the best around. I was traveling on my own & told the waitress that I’d love to try the crabs but didn’t know how to do them. She got my extra large order, sat down at the table with me & showed me where to get the meat from, chatting all the time. Then when I got up to leave, she said no charge – first time customer & hope I’d come back. And I did… but now I’m not sure I remember how to get the meat out.
Such hospitality at Dirty Dicks! That was nice of her. I’ve been eating crabs since I lived in Baltimore, MD, my first year out of college (and for almost a decade total). Scott and I’s first date was to a crab house….where he was “impressed” by my willingness to dig in and get guts and gore up to my elbows!
I thought so since you seem to know your way around a crab. But I did notice that it’s a lot more mess than lobster. Dirty Dicks provided me with a huge pile of napkins – and it was fun sitting chatting with the waitress.
Yes, lobster is a lot cleaner…chewier, too, not that I mind. We used to vacation in Ogunquit, ME when I was a kid, and then my mom, Scott, and I made two trips up before the boys were born. Love me some lobster roll!!!!!
Just catching up on emails, and now I am HUNGRY. Love those crabbies! Definitely one of my favorite Mam recipes
Absolutely! So delicious 🙂
