Crab Cakes and Lemon Dill Mayonaisse (SouthernLiving.com)

TASTE : Very Good
PREP : Easy
REPEAT : Yes

We used cheap fake crab meat for this and I processed it in the food processor. Still great tasting crab cakes for less money! I also processed the saltines in the processor to get the required crumbs. Served with the lemon-dill mayo was especially yummy. No, they aren't like the gourmet ones in a restaurant, but made with the fake crab meat, it is an inexpensive meal for the family served with some veggies.

KEY INGREDIENTS: saltines, eggs, onion, mayonnaise, lemon juice, ground red pepper, hot sauce, lump crab meat (or crab alternative)

LEMON DILL MAYONNAISE : 1 c mayo, 2 t lemon rind, 3/4 t dillweed, 1/4 t garlic powder, 1/4 hot sauce. Stir together and chill. Keeps for a couple weeks.
