Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounce package cream cheese or Neufchatel (light cream cheese) (softened)
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup light or regular sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon grated white onion
12 ounces lump crab meat (from 2 6-ounce cans)
1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning salt (I use Lawry's Seasoned Salt)
½ teaspoon Worcestershire
½ lemon (juiced)
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley
a few shakes of Tabasco (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
crackers (baguette slices, or tortilla chips for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a medium mixing bowl and stir until creamy. Add remaining ingredients and stir again until well combined. Transfer to a small baking dish and transfer to oven.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until browned and bubbly.
  • Serve with crackers, baguette slices, or tortilla chips.
  • Add the ingredients to a small (3- to 4-quart) slow cooker, stir to combine, and set it on LOW for 2 hours. It needs to cook until the cream cheese melts completely. Stir the dip and then let it cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  • It should keep well for up to an hour on the KEEP WARM or LOW setting. Be sure to stir it occasionally to prevent it from burning or separating.

AWESOME CHEESY HOT CRAB DIP



Awesome Cheesy Hot Crab Dip image

I got this recipe from a Southern Living Magazine a couple of years ago. It was an instant favorite, and I get so many requests for the recipe that I figured I would make it easy on myself and just post it. I usually use more Old Bay, Tabasco, and scallions than it says, cause I like a little extra kick. It really is AWESOME, especially with crusty french bread.

Categories     Crab

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (8 ounce) package light cream cheese
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
3 scallions (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
6 ounces crabmeat (backfin)
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (fresh grated)

Steps:

  • Blend cream cheese and mayo until creamy.
  • Add lemon juice, Tabasco, and scallions; mix.
  • Add old bay, salt, pepper and crab meat; mix.
  • Put in baking dish and top with parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes, until cheese starts to brown.
  • Can be refrigerated up to 24 hours before cooking.

Tips:

  • Use fresh seafood: Fresh seafood will give your dip the best flavor. If you can, buy seafood that has been caught within the last 24 hours.
  • Don't overcook the seafood: Overcooked seafood will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is opaque and tender.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dip, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. A sharp cheddar or a creamy brie are both good choices.
  • Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of the dip. Some good options include garlic, onion, dill, and paprika.
  • Serve the dip warm: Cheesy seafood dip is best served warm. You can keep it warm in a slow cooker or in a chafing dish.

Conclusion:

Cheesy seafood dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, cheesy, and packed with seafood flavor. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables for a snack or appetizer that everyone will love.
