Crabmeat Cobbler a.k.a. Crabmeat Au Gratin

This was an interesting recipe for Maw-Maw. It was the 1st time that the word “cobbler” was used in a crabmeat recipe. In reviewing the recipe and the ingredients, one of the differences was the tomatoes. Another interesting ingredient was the Accent; Accent is a brand name for MSG. MSG is technically a flavor enhancer it activates the taste buds making them more receptive to flavor. Because it is a salt many people avoid using MSG. MSG is an optional ingredient in this recipe; however you may need to adjust the “salt to taste”.
