Crab Stuffed Peppers
I'm almost certain these would be a tremendous hit at your next party. I love anything stuffed with crab. Crab stuffed tire? Sounds yum. I didn't make a sauce for these because the filling is super tender and moist. I only like adding sauce to crispy or dried foods, otherwise I don't find it necessary. Although I know sauce lovers would probably disagree.I'm sort of a sauce lover, but I'm not a dunker. I don't dunk wings in ranch or crab legs in butter. I just give it a tap. Alright back ot these crab stuffed peppers, they were amazing. The only thing I'm kicking myself about is not adding mustard. I completely forgot the mustard.
