Terrific Crab Dip (Warm Flavorful Crab Dip)

Recipe #299824 | 20 min | SERVES 24 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: BlondieItaliana

This is really "terrific crab dip". I have made this on many occassions. Every time I go to a candle party, a jewelry party, or any kind of home retail party, I am asked to bring this... It's warm & cheesy and oh so good. FYI- you can use fresh lump, frozen, or canned crabmeat... You can even substitute with imitation crab meat or shrimp in a pinch... If you want to add a little kick to this, you can stir in red pepper flakes before baking...

    We made this dip along with your "spinach artichoke crock pot dip and your sausage balls" for family Sunday that everybody comes over for. Everything was so good and all gone. * five stars

    I served this last night when we had company over and it was YUMMMMMMO. My goal is now to try all of your recipes Blondie. This was so delicious. I wasn't sure how it would be with the eggs but it was all the rage last night.
