Answer 1

Oak Smoked Bacon and Crab stuffed Mushrooms

200g Oak smoked bacon
200g crab meat
150g Cheddar cheese

Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the smoked bacon for 3 - 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water and pat dry the bacon.

Thinly chop smoked bacon and combine with crab meat and cheese, spooning evenly into the mushrooms.

make Cheesy Crab Melts

Combine:
8 oz crab meat (diced or flaked, if not canned)
1 stick melted butter
2 T mayonaisse
1 jar Old English cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp seasoned salt

Spread on quartered English muffin pieces and broil until golden (can also be frozen before baking). This is a great snack or appetizer - I always get requests for the recipe when I make it.

Add it to maccarone and cheese; add it to a tossed salad; add some chopped onions and chopped celery to it along with a bit of mayonaise and put it on crackers with tomato wedges on top for decoration as an hord'uerve; add it to noodles or to any of those boxed rice or noodle vegetable dishes; add it to soup like New England Clam Chowder for extra flavor. Take your pick.
