BAKED HOT CRAB DIP



Baked Hot Crab Dip image

The quality of the crab meat makes all the difference for the flavor. Some canned crab is really mushy, while others have big chunks of crab. If you're using canned crab that's watery, you should consider adding double the crab for more flavor. Even if you have a good crab meat that isn't watery, but love a prominent crab taste, add as much crab to the recipe as you'd like.

  • Add some flavorings. You can add a variety of flavorings to crab dip, such as Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper. Experiment with different flavorings to find the combination that you like best.
  • Serve crab dip with crackers, bread, or vegetables. Crab dip is a great appetizer or snack. Serve it with crackers, bread, or vegetables, such as celery, carrots, or bell peppers.
