Crab Meat Topped Double Cheddar Pasta Bake

Dinner Tonight: Crab Meat Topped Double Cheddar Pasta Bake






For Breakfast this Monday morning I prepared a Potato and Ham Skillet. I prepared a bag of the Simply Potatoes Steakhouse Seasoned Diced Potatoes. Midway through the cooking time I added a 1/2 bag of Kroger Brand Diced Ham. Also had a cup of Bigelow Decaf Green Tea. About 31 degrees this morning and it was mostly sunny and a high of 63 degrees. Rain and colder weather moving in though. Gave Mom a hand doing a couple of loads of laundry. Later on cleaned the oven and fridge. Then cleaned and straightened up the freezer and then the pantry. For Dinner tonight I prepared a Crab Meat Topped Double Cheddar Pasta Bake.




So for Dinner tonight I tried a couple of new items; a can of Handy Claw Crab Meat and Bob Evans Oven Bake Double Cheddar Pasta. The Bob Evan's Oven Bake Double Cheddar Pasta is higher in calories and carbs than what I normally like to have but it looked and sounded so good I had to give it a try! I had picked up an 8 oz. container of Handy Claw Crab Meat. Kroger carries these in their Seafood Department. They carry 4 different kinds, I went with the Claw Crab Meat. I opened the container up to taste the Crab, Excellent taste to it!




To prepare the dish was very easy and little to no cleanup, you have to like that! I started by

preheating the oven to 350 degrees. The Pasta comes in a microwavable/oven ready container. Next I grabbed a small baking pan to set the container in. Then I got the Handy Claw Crab Meat out of the fridge. Removed the film wrapper on the Pasta and topped it with the Claw Crab Meat. Then sat the baking sheet in the oven and baked it.








After 25 minutes removed it from the oven and checked to be sure that the both the Crab and Pasta was cooked through. Everything thing looked good so I turned the oven off and let the dish cool for a couple of minutes before digging in.











The Crab Meat was perfect as a topping on the Pasta! The dish came out lip-smacking delicious! The Pasta and Cheddar was excellent and the Crab was sweet and so good! Another one of those Keeper Recipes. For Dessert/Snack later a bowl of Skinny pop - Pop Corn with a Diet Dr. Pepper to drink.
