Crabmeat Sycamore

By: Shoegirl 
"This is a Christmas Eve tradition in our house. It's rich, delicious, and worth spending the money on the lump crabmeat. It's to-die-for good! Serve with slices of French baguette or sourdough bread for dipping."

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat
  • 3 pounds Swiss cheese, shredded
  • 2 (11 ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons green onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
