Tasty Tuesday: Crab Stew

We celebrated New Year’s Eve with family roasting oysters and gobbling up crab stew. Everyone loved the stew and ate multiple bowls. And it is so simple to make.

Ingredients:
3 sticks butter
5 cans cream of celery soup
3 cans evaporated milk
1 quart half & half
2 lbs crab meat (I use the canned king crab claw meat found in the meat section of our grocery store.)
Worcestershire, hot pepper sauce, salt, and pepper to taste (more Worcestershire than hot pepper sauce, light on the salt, generous with the pepper)

In a large pot, melt butter completely, then add cream of celery soup, mixing well. Add remainder of the ingredients, being sure to break apart the crab meat. Simmer over medium to low heat until hot. The longer it simmers the better it is.
