Crab Imperial

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm . . . butter, half and half, and crab. How could you go wrong? You can't. It's very rich.

4 oz of butter
½ cups of finely chopped green pepper (I usually just use the entire pepper)
½ cup of finely chopped red pepper (I usually just use the entire pepper)
1 cup finely chopped onion
4 tbs of flour
3 cups half and half
1 tsp salt
½ cup of finely chopped parsley
½ tsp of cayenne pepper
1 lb of crabmeat

In large skillet, melt butter. Sauté onions, and peppers for about 2 mins. Add flour then half and half. Blend with whisk until smooth. Cook slowly until sauce become medium thick, about 8 - 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove sauce from heat and add all remaining ingredients except crab and paprika. Fold in crab gently and fill a lightly greased 2 qt casserole with mixture. Dust with paprika. Bake 15 to 2o minutes.
