Carolina Crab Stew (Our Family’s Secret)
Have you ever seen one of those Bush’s Baked Beans commercials? The ones with the golden retriever who is always trying to let the secret family recipe out of the bag?
Our family hasn’t made a business out of a secret family recipe or anything, but believe me, if we opened a restaurant selling this stuff, it would be a rockin’ success.
So I guess since I’m writing this post, I’m Duke the dog for a day.
Okay, that was awkward, but there. I admitted it. 😉 My family might disown me now. (And I don’t think anyone is going to adopt a stray doggie with a human head.)
This weekend, my mom (the mastermind behind it all) cooked up a big heaping pot of her famous Carolina Crab Stew. That first bite of stew signifies the official start of fall in our house, and Saturday, it was complete with apple cider and a bonfire. It warms me up just thinking about it.
All right all right, I’ve talked this up enough. You get the picture. So here is the coveted recipe for the incredible Carolina Crab Stew.
It’s glorious. Just trust me.
My family seriously debated sending this recipe out into the universe, but I gave them the good ol’ puppy dog eyes treatment and won. (You should feel loved. This took major schmoozing.)
So the cat…er crab…is out of the bag. 😉
Blessings,

I’ll go back and add that in. It makes 6 servings and takes 30 minutes to make.
How long does it take to make? How many servings? Thanks!
I have tasted the goods and this stew is food for the soul. It is so good snd so satisfying that it is served as the main course with bread on the side – crunchy crust, soft in the middle bread. Please thank your mom for sharing the family secret!
I’ll have to make it again in the next week or so and have y’all over. 🙂 I’m craving it again.
I’ve pinned this, I’m printing it out, and I am so eager to try the recipe! Thank you for sharing it. And thanks for joining Grace at Home–I’m featuring you this week!
Yay! I hope you love it as much as I do. I’d love to know how it turns out!
We love all things crab here in Maryland! Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for letting the secret out of the bag! Happy to feature you at our party this morning.
Thank you so much for the feature, Sharon! I hope you give it a try!
