A delicious hot appetizer or main dish, with a buttery garlic and lemon pepper flavor. Very easy, uses inexpensive imitation crabmeat. May serve as is or with a dipping sauce of your choice. Also good on rice or pasta. Great when on toasted Italian bread, or on pizza, especially with a cream sauce

This was NOT a keeper...we made toasted crab sandwiches topped with provolone cheese and it was bland to say the least. Definately will NOT make this again. Read More

WOW! I was really surprised at how good this was. I didn't have lemon pepper, so I put about a tablespoon and a half of lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of pepper. It was wonderful! We put it over egg noodles. I didn't realize that I forgot the cheese the first time around. With the leftovers we had mozzarella, so we used that. It was SO good. I stirred it in a little first, then put more on top once it was on the plate and let it melt. It was amazingly good. I will definately make this again! Read More

My family loved this recipe. I thought it was very flavorful. I changed it a little by using the juice of 1 fresh lemon and cracked pepper instead of lemon pepper seasoning. Also added some parsly flakes. I served it over brow rice with asparagus on the side. Excellent. Read More

I'm not sure if I disliked this recipe so much because I expected it to make a sauce or what but this turned out terrible. I served it over pasta and it just didn't work for me. Read More

This was good. I shredded the crab and should have cut it up a little finer. I buttered and broiled French bread slices to serve it on. Next time I would add a little more pepper and maybe some diced celery for some crunch. Read More

Thank you for this recipe. Without this recipe and the other reviewers' comments I would have NEVER considered using any product marked "imitation." Per the other reviewers' comments I served it on egg noodles. I only used 1 tablespoon butter & I added about 4 oz of low fat cream cheese. I used chicken broth to make the sauce a consistency that my family prefers. My family loved it. Dianne's use of lemon pepper garlic and Romano cheese was perfect. Per one of the reviewers I added dried parsley for color and garnish. Thank you Dianne and thank you other reviewers! Read More
