Stuffed Mushrooms<br />

Cheese Sauce:<br />

4 Tbsp. butter<br />

4 Tbsp. flour<br />

1 tsp. salt<br />

1/4 tsp. pepper<br />

2 cups milk<br />

2 cups cheddar cheese, grated<br />

Stuffing:<br />

24 large mushrooms<br />

1 lb. crabmeat<br />

1 stick butter<br />

1/2 cup green onion, chopped<br />

1/2 cup Italian style breadcrumbs<br />

1 clove garlic, minced<br />

Creole seasoning<br />

Wash mushrooms; remove and chop stems and set aside.<br />

Cheese Sauce: In medium sauce pan, melt butter over low heat. Add flour, salt and pepper, and<br />

stir until the flour and butter are well blended. Remove <strong>from</strong> heat and stir in milk. Return to heat<br />

and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thick and smooth. Lower heat and gradually add<br />

cheese, stirring constantly until cheese is completely melted. Remove <strong>from</strong> heat.<br />

Stuffing: In a separate pan, melt butter. Add garlic and green onions and<br />

sauté until done (about 5 minutes). Add crabmeat, mushroom stems and<br />

breadcrumbs. Mix well. Season to taste with Creole seasoning. Add cheese<br />

sauce gradually until mixture reaches desired consistency. Stuff mushrooms<br />

and place in large, buttered casserole dish. If you like, pour remaining cheese<br />

sauce over the mushrooms. Bake at 350° about 15 minutes. Optional: sprinkle<br />

more breadcrumbs on top and place under the broiler until browned.<br />
