1 lb. crab meat

Mix with electric beaters and gradually add in flour until free and smooth.
Add Old Bay to taste. 2-3 Tbls. at a time. (Start low - you can always add more layer)
Add crab meat and blend slowly into milk mixture, being careful not to break up lumps of crab meat.
Pour mixture into crock pot - set on low and cook until thick.

STIR FREQUENTLY - Tasting and adding Old Bay as needed.
