I just came across this recipe--I definitely want to try making this!  When I do, I'll post the results here (and add "TNT" to the title).  

Crab Au Gratin (Red Lobster)

John Havel, Editor (http://www.e-cookbooks.net)

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup onion, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk, scalded
1/2 teaspoon salt
dash of white pepper
1/4 cup sherry
12 ounces crab meat
1 cup crackers, finely crumbled
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, finely grated

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 saute for about 5 minutes or until golden. Slowly add flour, stirring constantly over low heat. When flour is blended, gradually add hot milk (scalded) and blend with a whip. Continue stirring over low heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Add salt, pepper, and sherry, and continue cooking while stirring for about one minute.

In a bowl, mix crab meat, sauce, and the extra cracker crumbs and cheese.

Place in a lightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle reserved cracker crumbs and cheese on the top of the casserole. Dot the top with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Bake uncovered at 350F for about 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

It is based on a recipe found here .  Note that I cut the ingredients in half (from the original recipe) because I wanted to make sure it tastes as good as it looks and man, it really does taste like Zia's Sweet Italian Dressing!  I will definitely keep this recipe handy (as I use Zia's dressi...
