For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a 1/4 cup of dry sherry or white wine to the casserole mixture. Toasting the almonds before adding them to the casserole enhances their nutty flavor and adds a pleasant crunch. If using fresh crabmeat, be sure to pick through it carefully to remove any shell fragments. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to suit your spice preference. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
