4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Imitation Crab
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
| Solid block vacuum-packed imitation crab meat | 1 (16–20 oz) |
| Condensed cream of mushroom soup | 1 (10/5 oz) can |
| Heavy cream | 1/2 cup |
| Unsalted butter, cut into pieces | 4 tablespoons |
Step-By-Step Directions:
-
Prep the base: Lay the solid block of imitation crab flat on the bottom of your slow cooker insert, keeping it intact as a single base layer.
-
Whisk the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and heavy cream until completely smooth.
-
Cover and dot: Pour the cream mixture evenly over the top of the crab block, then top with the pieces of unsalted butter spaced out evenly.
-
Slow cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, or until the crab block is heated through and tender.
-
Shred and fold: Gently use tongs or two forks to break the warm block into large, bite-sized pieces directly in the slow cooker, folding them into the creamy sauce.
-
Settle and serve: Switch the slow cooker to WARM for 10 to 15 minutes to let the sauce thicken slightly before serving hot.
