ZMan's Jumbo Lump Crabmeat Au Gratin

Preheat oven to 375F. In a heavy bottom two quart sauce pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Add onions, celery, bell pepper, green onions and garlic. Saute three to five minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Be careful not to brown vegetables. Sprinkle in flour, blending well into mixture. Using a wire whip, whisk hot cream into sauce pan stirring constantly until thick cream sauce is achieved. Reduce heat to simmer, add white wine, lemon juice and hot sauce. Sprinkle in half of the cheddar cheese stirring the mixture constantly. Season to taste using salt and pepper. Add parsley for color. If mixture becomes too thick, add a small amount of hot water or whipping cream. Place crabmeat in the bottom of a caserole dish, top with sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese. Bake for ten minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
