  2. Mix all ingredients until well incorporated.
  3. Sprinkle half of the remaining Panko bread crumbs across the bottom of a Meatball Master container.
  4. Spread the crab mixture evenly on the bottom of the Meatball Master container.  Sprinkle the remainder of the Panko bread crumbs over the crab mixture. 
  5. Place the lid on top of the Meatball Master and place in the freezer for at least an hour to make the poppers easier to remove and handle.
