1 lb. crabmeat or 2 pkgs. snow crab (chunks or flaked)

If you use real crabmeat, don't use the cheap kind use chunk or lump, rinse and pick through. If you use the snow crab (not even sure if this is still around) just put in bowl still frozen in blocks. It will thaw. 1 can (use mushroom soup can) milk 2 c. sm. or med. shell macaroni, uncooked 10 to 12 oz. block of cheddar cheese (sharp is O.K.), the more cheese you use the better it tastes (cut in cubes) 2 tbsp. chopped chives (I use the ones in the jar) 4 hard-boiled eggs (chopped, not fine)

Mix all together in a nice large casserole dish, cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, longer is o.k.

Put in 350 degree oven, covered for about an hour and a half. Stir a few times while it is covered. Uncover and bake another 1/2 or 3/4 hour, stirring about every 10 minutes. Cook until nice and brown and a little thick but not too thick. Let rest a few minutes before serving.

This should serve at least 10 with other things. A nice salad and cheese bread. The recipe can be doubled.
