How to make crab au gratin:

Preheat oven to 350°. Crumble crackers between waxed paper with a rolling pin. Reserve just enough crumbs and cheese to top the casserole.

Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large heavy skillet. Add onion and saut?© for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly over low heat. When flour is blended, gradually add hot (scalded) milk and blend with a whip. Continue stirring over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Add salt, pepper, and sherry and continue stirring.

In a bowl, mix the crab meat, sauce and the extra cracker crumbs and cheese. Place in a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved cracker crumbs and cheese on top of the casserole. Dot the top with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter.

Bake uncovered at 350° for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Serves 5 (5-oz.) portions.
