Crab Cakes

This recipe is a combination of two recipes, which were almost identical, from kraftrecipes.

Ingredients:
2 cans (6 oz. each) crab meat, well drained, flaked
1/4 c. Miracle Whip
1 egg, beaten
20 Ritz Crackers, finely crushed
2 green onion, sliced
2 Tb. Thousand Island Dressing
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of Pepper

What to Do:
1. Preheat oven to 375*F. Beat eggs and dressing in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add crab meat; mix well. Gently stir in remaining ingredients. Let stand for five minutes.
2. Shape into patties, using about 1/4 c. of the mixture for each patty. Should make about 8 patties. Place in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (2 hours is preferable).
3. Bake 7 minutes on each side, or until cakes are golden brown on both sides and heated through.

You can serve crab cakes by themselves or like a burger. These are especially yummy with Thousand Island dressing as the sauce.
