Baked Crab Supreme

This was a favorite in our early days.  So delicious and easy.

1 pkg corn bread (I use Jiffy), prepared
2 - 6 1/2 oz cans crab meat or pkg frozen
1 cup white or cheese sauce
1/4 sherry
1 tsp salt
cheese

Prepare corn bread per pkg directions.
Place thin layer of corn bread in bottom of greased baking dish (maybe and 8 " square or round casserole). Cover with crab. pour sauce w/sherry over meat. salt and pepper. Cover mixture with cheese (cheddar, amarican, provolone, whatever).  Bake at 350 deg for 20 minutes. Garnish with paprika.

white sauce: in small saucepan, melt 2 T butter. Stir in 2T flour and whisk away for a minute or two while the roux binds (medium heat).  Add 1 - 1/14 cups milk and whisk over medium heat until it thickens (just a few minutes.)  Add sherry and some cheese - maybe 1/2 cup.
