Crab dip can be life altering on the small scale. I can remember eating my first crab dip in Seattle,WA. It took me several tries to come close to it. I never got it just right but OMG it's gooooood. Crab stuffed mushrooms are also fabulous, I do use imation crab in my creations and especially the stuffed mushrooms ( I tried canned crab and it was horrendous).
Addictive! Used shrimp because that's what I had in the freezer. Actually enjoyed it more the next day straight from the fridge, atop buttery crackers.
This channel is inspiring. I’ve always been intimidated by cooking and making these types of food. What the heck, I’m making this crab dip this week. 😅
Wife's family is French Canadian from the Maritimes - they do a crab dip for Christmas that's Cream Cheese, Mayo, splash of Ketchup, Seafood Sauce & Crab mixed together and served with Triscuits or Butter Crackers!
I grew up in So Louisiana USA with the shrimp or crab molded cream cheese dip with ketchup added in. Excellent dip. But this is a Pampered Chef Crab Dip recipe from way back that's a good one. Cheesy Crab Dip 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened 1/2-cup mayonnaise 1 garlic clove, pressed 1 package (8 ounces) imitation crabmeat, chopped 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions with tops 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper 1 lemon 1 teaspoon Tabasco hot pepper sauce 1/4 cup sliced almonds, chopped 1 loaf Canape� French Bread slices, toasted 1. Preheat oven to 350�F. Combine cream cheese and mayonnaise in Classic Batter Bowl; mix well using Small Mix 'N Scraper(R). Press garlic into batter bowl using Garlic Press; mix well. 2. Chop crabmeat using Food Chopper. Grate Swiss cheese using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Thinly slice green onions using Utility Knife. Dice bell pepper using Chef's Knife. Using Juicer, juice lemon to measure 1-tablespoon juice. Add crabmeat, Swiss cheese, green onions, bell pepper, lemon juice and hot pepper sauce to batter bowl; mix well. 3. Spoon crabmeat mixture into Mini-Baker. Chop almonds using Food Chopper; sprinkle over dip. Bake 25-30 minutes or until golden brown around edges. Serve with toasted Canape� French Bread slices.

I love crab dip!! Haven't had it for years. I remember my Mom would make it back in the 60's for Christmas and New Year's Day along with the infamous Chipped Beef cheese ball! 😊 Thank you for cutting the recipe down.
This would probably make a good crab pretzel. We do that in Baltimore, I guess other places do too. It's basically crab dip piled and baked on to a soft pretzel.
The recipe only states 10. Ten what? At first I assumed ten servings, but looking at ingredient quantities, it could be that it makes 10 cups. Easy enough to half or quarter the recipe.
Never made a crab dip. Gonna try it. One thing about the crab meat: our local asian grocer, here in Pinneberg, Germany, made me aware that you can get it frozen. Much better quality! (not that watery, And without any glass bones, that sometimes are to be found in the canned stuff) When I can get it at the market, I like to use our loca "Knieper". It's our local Cancer pagurus. As chili powder, I much use the korean gochugaru. Nice clour. And it doesn't toast your brain from just one tsp. A favourite of mine has become Pailin's "NEW crab fried rice". Pailin's litchen. She lives in Vancouver. I've learned soooo much from her! I even went to my neighbourd to let them Test 4 different oyster-sauces. Greetings from the far north of Germany!
Grew up with a similar dish but made with roughly chopped cooked shrimp instead of crab. Made with mayo if to be served hot, or with Greek yoghurt instead if served cold - ie not cooked in the oven at all. Oh and with a lot more salsa 'cause we like it spicy. It was a family favourite!
Hi this is the wife, l make my crab dip, with only cream cheese, crab meat, whorchester sauce, a taste of hot sauce, a taste of lemon and some horseradish, yum. l only make it on holidays, or l would be eating it everyday. lol. Although l might have to try this one, it sounds yummy
Being from Maryland, we are known for our Maryland Crab dip. Typically served warmed with (you got it!) Old Bay, mayo, sour cream, cream cheese, chives, and lump crab.
I use fresh crabmeat in mine (always available in Massachusetts) and put cheese on top of mine so it's all bubbly and gooey. Sometimes a small splash of sherry adds even more richness!
I make a very similar version to this and it started off using crab… but we lived in northern Alberta where groceries were not consistent, so early on we substituted in canned shrimp when the crab was not available and if not that, then canned salmon sockeye is nice but pink works too with a bit of lemon juice to add some citrus… that stuff is great on anything!
One of my simple go to dips for 20yrs or more has been just sour cream & salsa. When I began making it people thought I was nuts but then tasted it. It started kinda out of necessity, I had nothing else when company dropped by. I never make onion dip anymore. I'd like to try this crab dip...
My wife does this. Tortilla Chips dipped (in her case scooped) into sour cream and dipped into salsa. It started for her because salsa was too "hot". She gets teased that it is all just a transport system to get sour cream into her mouth lol.
Yummy! Jules so wanted to double-dip! Wink😊I live near the coast and crab is in my wheelhouse alll the time! Grew up crabbing off the Chesapeake Bay….York River….Virginia Beach…more. Memories! Ahhh!
I was introduced to a new dip this holiday season. In Minnesota, they (we) have something called a Pickle Rollup and they have a dip based on the Pickle Rollup that is cream cheese, sour cream, chopped up dill pickle, ham, and minced dried onion. Imagine the filling wrapped in meat and you have it. It's pretty fussy to make the rollups so they turned it into a dip by just chopping the meat and adding to everything else. I made mine with salami and roasted garlic instead of ham and onion and it was dynamite. Using cream cheese, sour cream and pickles as the base, you could really experiment with different meats, herbs, cheeses, whatever. It was awesome.
I'm so old... we used to get Dungeness crab in a can. OMG awesome. I've tried what's available now, No, No, No! I'd just switch in shrimp or the pasteurized pop top crab. Thanks, good video
What timing! Going to pickup some dungeoness crabs for dinner. Now I know what to do with the leftovers. Also....that just screams for a nice beer to pair.
Budget won't allow for crab so I was wondering if it would work with tuna or sardines, which I have. Then, Glen said to use whatever canned fish you have. I'm going to try that! As I was typing this, I remembered a friend made something similar with canned salmon. It was DELICIOUS! So, Glen is right!
I do something similar but instead of salsa I ramp up the taco spice 2-4x what you had (depends on the taco spice mix) and then instead of salsa I do bottled lime juice and some lime zest. For some crunch just before service I'll dice up some cucumber and mix it in to add a fresh pop and a bit of texture
I've also done ranch dressing powder and buffalo sauce with destringed diced celery. The ranch dressing powder combined with the buffalo sauce almost simulates a blue cheesy vibe and makes for an awesome buffalo dip.
Haven’t watched, yet, but wanted to comment that where I live in Eastern North Carolina, EVERY seafood restaurant (and some non-seafood restaurants even) serve a crab dip. ( one have salsa in them, though). My wife and I are on a quest to find the best. EDIT: After watching, here in Eastern NC, a vast majority do the standard cream cheese and old bay version, but some do change it up. Some do a “seafood dip” instead and have a few different types of meat in there. No one does it with salsa, though. I might actually try this one myself! Thinking off the top of my head, using Siracha as the hot sauce component and adding some other Asian inspired flavors might make for a great variation.
Go full Carolina. Get yourself some Texas Pete (made in Winston-Salem) and use it instead of Frank's or Tabasco. Maybe make it a surf and turf dip by mixing a little bit of pulled pork into it. If you do go Asian inspired I suggest getting some crunchy chow mein noodles to top it or mix into it right before heating it up, and instead of salsa, crush in a few cloves of garlic, mince a little ginger and onion or shallot, maybe some thai chilis finely diced as well.
Your version with Rotel, add corn, fresh jalapenos and green onions tops. We always had Club crackers on hand so that was what we used. Had it once in Texas and the family had used garden fresh ingredients and freshly harvested crabs. The best by far! Use what you got on hand.
Hey guys, big fan of the channel for a while now. Here is our New Years eve tradition crab dip. 1 lb imitation crab (or real if you want) 1/4 cup finely minced onion 1 tbsp lemon juice 8 oz cream cheese 1 tsp sugar White pepper and salt to taste 16 oz sour cream Bring cream cheese up to room temp Roughly pulse crab in food processor Mix everything except sour cream Fold sour cream in after all other ingredients are well mixed If you store overnight in fridge the flavors come together Served cold with wheat thins is our favorite
I have a cheese dip recipe where I put panko crumbs on top and they toast as the dip gets bubbly and it's delicious. I bet topping this dip with panko crumbs would likewise be amazing - I can imagine the toasty crunchy panko on top of the gooey bubbly dip 😋
For me, it's clam dip and cocktail shrimp! Similar, cream cheese, mayo/sour cream cocktail sauce, Worcester sauce/soy sauce, garlic powder, green onion, canned chopped and minced clams. I've been out of cream cheese and used sour cream & mayo, however I can get the clam dip, I'm pretty much down with it. And yes, I do a happy dance when I make it. Heck, I've even added canned shrimp; it's no bake, but you could! 😋❤🙏👑✝
My aunt gave me this recipe 30 years ago. It’s called Crab Bites. 9 English Muffins split open into 18 halves 1 jar (6 oz.) Kraft Old English cheese. 1 6 oz. can crab meat - drain juice into small bowl 1/4 lb butter or margarine softened 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1/4 tsp onion powder 1 tsp garlic powder 1 dash Tabasco Mix all ingredients well and spread on muffin halves. Place on a cookie sheet under a broiler and watch closely until they look bubbly.
Those things are tremendous! The recipe I have is almost the same, except for minced fresh onion and garlic instead of powder. And 1/4 t. dill weed. They freeze well, too (before cooking).
I'm allergic to shellfish, but down here in MD, USA, crab dip is only made with the refrigerated crab that you get from the fish monger. (I am tempted to try this recipe with canned tuna...)
Would this work with chopped clams? I have a large can of chopped clams to use up for several recipes. Going to also make marina sauce with clams and linguine and some Manhattan style clam chowder.
Glen: What a great parting idea to meke this dip kosher 6:42 "any fish in a can". I'm thiking salmon dip would be a good alternative. Respectifully, W.S.
I make almost this exact recipe with canned salmon lol. Of note, once it's chilled, you can also make basically croquettes out of it. Scoop it, bread it, fry it.
I've never thought of having a full like this warmed before. Cold or room temp would seem to be more standard from my perspective. Baked cheese on the other hand!
I might microwave? Have done it with mozzarella or pepper jack(3/4 c) and it works with smoked fish and fire roasted green chili instead of salsa. Has to be fire roasted chili. Guess because I am from New Mexico. Lol!
Rosemary, celery seeds, grey mustard, ginger, cloves, cardamom, white pepper, ginger Hungarian paprika, shallots, sweet pickles, and red onions in garlic mayonnaise with some dry white wine, Portuguese sardines from tin chopped very fine, with some boursin, brie or any soft cheese and a lot of tinned crab or lobster, you hollow out halves of bread, fill that in and toast that for a few minutes
Umm, yum! Agree that you don’t need the expensive crab. Any crab dip I make gets the cheap tuna sized cans. The lump crab is for carb cakes or hash only.
We had a crab dip that was literally the block of cream cheese on a plate, with a can of drained crab meat on top, with cocktail sauce poured over the whole thing. You used a knife to spread it onto your cracker. I love cocktail sauce but I haven't had it in probably 20 years, I wonder if I would still like it?
The addition of salsa sounds interesting. It seems like most crab dips have cream cheese in them. I have a recipe from the eastern shore of Maryland that doesn’t. Of course, being from Maryland, it uses fresh lump blue crab. I’ve never had canned so I don’t know how that compares. 2lb Lump Crab 3/4 of a bottle Durkee’s Famous Sauce 1 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (Hellman’s) 2 tsp Worcestershire (Lea & Perrin’s) 1 tsp Paprika 1 tsp Tabasco Pinch Salt Combine all except crab blending well. Gently fold in crab meat trying not to break up lumps. Serve warm - Not hot with Melba Rounds.
This is the origin of “UNWANTED GUEST DIP”: As a new military wife, I was faced this a “no knock hospitality check” while the new husband was on a cross country training flight. Sat night at 11:30 , 😮ten hungry pilots were at my door expecting to be fed( things were different in those days). So in they swooped while I tried to figure out what to feed them. I was really angry so I put cat food on crackers and found some really bad orange soda left by the previous homeowner. Needless to say, the didn’t stick around. They were later amazed to discover I was a great Cook, and that they’d eaten cat food . They got exactly what they deserved.
I've never had a crab dip, but after watching Glen wiggle with happiness I may have to try it.
Crab dip can be life altering on the small scale. I can remember eating my first crab dip in Seattle,WA.
It took me several tries to come close to it. I never got it just right but OMG it's gooooood. Crab stuffed mushrooms are also fabulous, I do use imation crab in my creations and especially the stuffed mushrooms ( I tried canned crab and it was horrendous).
You can make it with that shitty fake crab stuff (that everyone loves, but doesn't admit) and everyone will still love crab dip.
One of the most addicting things ever. So good!!
It is my hope that he has a bag of cheese in the fridge marked “for when you’re feeling wild”
More “side of the fridge!” I’m loving these!
Addictive! Used shrimp because that's what I had in the freezer. Actually enjoyed it more the next day straight from the fridge, atop buttery crackers.
Made a big batch of Crab Rangoon dip for our New Year's eve party a hit! Love this version with salsa. I'll try it for sure!
We put salsa in tuna for sandwiches; really perks it up. This sounds good!
Hearing J's and G's crunching really sells it.
Well, now I want a series of Glen makes: Super Bowl Snacks...
Surely it would be the Grey Cup snacks! ;-)

I have never had crab dip. But I will try this out. Also Glen for a show idea - you just tell us food history in long form.

Definitly making this for the GF this weekend!
I love your and Jules channel here! Love that you wear your kitchen towel on the side hanging from your apron strap!!! Thank you for all you do!!
Holy cow! That original recipe using 4 - 8 oz packages of cream cheese could feed an army!!
Not if Glen is there.
The recipe only states 10. Ten what? At first I assumed ten servings, but looking at ingredient quantities, it could be that it makes 10 cups. Easy enough to half or quarter the recipe.

Lovely green Scandinavian sweater!
I made this for a late lunch today but skipped the mayo and added in fresh spinach. Delicious! Leftovers will be a snack tomorrow. 😋
I love Frank’s! I have BIG bottles in my fridge at all times.
I've never made my own, but this reminds of a dip I've had that added some parmesan in the mix. So Good.
I make the salsa and cream cheese dip and eat it cold with veggies. I will have to try a crab version.
Never had crab dip, but this seems like the fancy cousin to buffalo chicken dip, which is the best thing about Superbowl parties.
I’ve never been interested in crab dip, but this looks really good. I think I’ll try making some.
Grew up with a similar dish but made with roughly chopped cooked shrimp instead of crab. Made with mayo if to be served hot, or with Greek yoghurt instead if served cold - ie not cooked in the oven at all. Oh and with a lot more salsa 'cause we like it spicy. It was a family favourite!
Omg this with fresh homemade salsa would be amazing!
I agree, the addition of salsa sounds super good. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the recipie
Yummm!!
I do a crab dip very similar using the salsa, but with curry powder and chopped red peppers.
Hi this is the wife, l make my crab dip, with only cream cheese, crab meat, whorchester sauce, a taste of hot sauce, a taste of lemon and some horseradish, yum. l only make it on holidays, or l would be eating it everyday. lol. Although l might have to try this one, it sounds yummy
My step mother nailed crab dip every Thanksgiving. It was so good.
Being from Maryland, we are known for our Maryland Crab dip. Typically served warmed with (you got it!) Old Bay, mayo, sour cream, cream cheese, chives, and lump crab.
I love 'ish' measurements.
Crab, cream cheese, prepared horseradish and finely chopped green onion. From my "clothespin" recipes kept in the kitchen drawer.
I love the gusto you both have for this dish!
I use fresh crabmeat in mine (always available in Massachusetts) and put cheese on top of mine so it's all bubbly and gooey. Sometimes a small splash of sherry adds even more richness!

My wife does this. Tortilla Chips dipped (in her case scooped) into sour cream and dipped into salsa. It started for her because salsa was too "hot". She gets teased that it is all just a transport system to get sour cream into her mouth lol.
I think with the crushed tortilla chips this would make a great jalapeño popper stuffing
Love this series! All it is missing is the horror-movie font and thumbnail of “It came from the side of the fridge!”
I will save this! Crab dipp is really not a thing where I live. But it sound and look delissious!
Never heard of crab dip before. Looks interesting.
The one I make at home is a hybrid spinach and crab dip with asiago.
Holy cow!!! I didn't even think y'all knew what Old Bay was up there in the northland. Interesting recipe....needs Old Bay....lol.
Yummy! Jules so wanted to double-dip! Wink😊I live near the coast and crab is in my wheelhouse alll the time! Grew up crabbing off the Chesapeake Bay….York River….Virginia Beach…more. Memories! Ahhh!
Curry powder, sour cream, crab, or chopped clams, green onions. All of this is now going on my grocery list.
You’ll be happy to know I always change your recipes, Glenn! I’m just here for inspiration
Haven't ever had crab dip. Am willing to try and make it. My Husband's birthday is coming up and he likes seafood.
This sounds DELICIOUS my friend!
I want to try this dip with chopped shrimp.
I was introduced to a new dip this holiday season. In Minnesota, they (we) have something called a Pickle Rollup and they have a dip based on the Pickle Rollup that is cream cheese, sour cream, chopped up dill pickle, ham, and minced dried onion. Imagine the filling wrapped in meat and you have it. It's pretty fussy to make the rollups so they turned it into a dip by just chopping the meat and adding to everything else. I made mine with salami and roasted garlic instead of ham and onion and it was dynamite. Using cream cheese, sour cream and pickles as the base, you could really experiment with different meats, herbs, cheeses, whatever. It was awesome.
Mmm. Used to do this with cocktail sauce
Im from maryland and I think i’d prefer this over our version!
I can't wait to make this!
I'm so old... we used to get Dungeness crab in a can. OMG awesome.
I've tried what's available now, No, No, No!
I'd just switch in shrimp or the pasteurized pop top crab.
Thanks, good video
,,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you…
I simply must try this. I'm intrigued by the use of salsa in lieu of Old Bay seasoning. BTW, love your channel and videos!
What timing! Going to pickup some dungeoness crabs for dinner. Now I know what to do with the leftovers. Also....that just screams for a nice beer to pair.
I put clamato in mine... very yummy!
Idk why but I wasn't expecting it to be baked. I guess a lot of dips I have are cold. Sounds really good though and I'll have to give it a try!
Budget won't allow for crab so I was wondering if it would work with tuna or sardines, which I have. Then, Glen said to use whatever canned fish you have. I'm going to try that!
As I was typing this, I remembered a friend made something similar with canned salmon. It was DELICIOUS! So, Glen is right!
You could also use canned chicken or some minced up cooked chicken for essentially a southwest or buffalo chicken dip.
I make the old standard crab dip, (sometimes with just a pinch of curry powder), your recipe looks great. Going to try it.
I do something similar but instead of salsa I ramp up the taco spice 2-4x what you had (depends on the taco spice mix) and then instead of salsa I do bottled lime juice and some lime zest. For some crunch just before service I'll dice up some cucumber and mix it in to add a fresh pop and a bit of texture
I've also done ranch dressing powder and buffalo sauce with destringed diced celery. The ranch dressing powder combined with the buffalo sauce almost simulates a blue cheesy vibe and makes for an awesome buffalo dip.
This looks flipping amazing. I am also curious what the "standard old bay" recipe is.
Looks delicious!

So Fun ! Do you have a Bloopers Real over the years? That might really be fun. Thanks Y'all
Your version with Rotel, add corn, fresh jalapenos and green onions tops. We always had Club crackers on hand so that was what we used. Had it once in Texas and the family had used garden fresh ingredients and freshly harvested crabs. The best by far! Use what you got on hand.
Hey guys, big fan of the channel for a while now. Here is our New Years eve tradition crab dip.
1 lb imitation crab (or real if you want)
1/4 cup finely minced onion
1 tbsp lemon juice
8 oz cream cheese
1 tsp sugar
White pepper and salt to taste
16 oz sour cream
Bring cream cheese up to room temp
Roughly pulse crab in food processor
Mix everything except sour cream
Fold sour cream in after all other ingredients are well mixed
If you store overnight in fridge the flavors come together
Served cold with wheat thins is our favorite
I have made it different and put clotrio in it and then put it in the oven and made tacos out of it. Ooh so good
Sounds great.
Glen, I would add some Worcestershire sauce like in the recipe but maybe just a dash, a clove of fresh garlic and black pepper
I have a cheese dip recipe where I put panko crumbs on top and they toast as the dip gets bubbly and it's delicious. I bet topping this dip with panko crumbs would likewise be amazing - I can imagine the toasty crunchy panko on top of the gooey bubbly dip 😋
Its Savoir Faire , Nik Manojlovich I can't remember the channel he was on, he had a great show.
For me, it's clam dip and cocktail shrimp! Similar, cream cheese, mayo/sour cream cocktail sauce, Worcester sauce/soy sauce, garlic powder, green onion, canned chopped and minced clams. I've been out of cream cheese and used sour cream & mayo, however I can get the clam dip, I'm pretty much down with it. And yes, I do a happy dance when I make it. Heck, I've even added canned shrimp; it's no bake, but you could! 😋❤🙏👑✝
So.....Glen an Friends Cookbook - when is this happening ?
I recall a crab dip which includes chopped marinated artichoke hearts!
My aunt gave me this recipe 30 years ago. It’s called Crab Bites.
9 English Muffins split open into 18 halves
1 jar (6 oz.) Kraft Old English cheese.
1 6 oz. can crab meat - drain juice into small bowl
1/4 lb butter or margarine softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 dash Tabasco
Mix all ingredients well and spread on muffin halves. Place on a cookie sheet under a broiler and watch closely until they look bubbly.
Those things are tremendous! The recipe I have is almost the same, except for minced fresh onion and garlic instead of powder. And 1/4 t. dill weed. They freeze well, too (before cooking).
Thanks for the freezing tip. I may try that next time I make them. Then I can just pull out a few for the two of us.
I suppose you could make it with chicken in a can, too. I don't eat seafood, but the rest sounds delish.
I'm allergic to shellfish, but down here in MD, USA, crab dip is only made with the refrigerated crab that you get from the fish monger. (I am tempted to try this recipe with canned tuna...)
Would this work with chopped clams? I have a large can of chopped clams to use up for several recipes. Going to also make marina sauce with clams and linguine and some Manhattan style clam chowder.
Glen: What a great parting idea to meke this dip kosher 6:42 "any fish in a can". I'm thiking salmon dip would be a good alternative. Respectifully, W.S.
It would be good with smoked salmon, only I wouldn't bake it. Like a deconstructed smoked salmon bagel.
I make almost this exact recipe with canned salmon lol. Of note, once it's chilled, you can also make basically croquettes out of it. Scoop it, bread it, fry it.
I've never thought of having a full like this warmed before. Cold or room temp would seem to be more standard from my perspective. Baked cheese on the other hand!
mine is canned crab, cream cheese and cocktail sauce - served with wheat thins.
I might microwave? Have done it with mozzarella or pepper jack(3/4 c) and it works with smoked fish and fire roasted green chili instead of salsa. Has to be fire roasted chili. Guess because I am from New Mexico. Lol!
Rosemary, celery seeds, grey mustard, ginger, cloves, cardamom, white pepper, ginger Hungarian paprika, shallots, sweet pickles, and red onions in garlic mayonnaise with some dry white wine, Portuguese sardines from tin chopped very fine, with some boursin, brie or any soft cheese and a lot of tinned crab or lobster, you hollow out halves of bread, fill that in and toast that for a few minutes
Two shakes of liquid smoke goes in in our house.
Umm, yum! Agree that you don’t need the expensive crab. Any crab dip I make gets the cheap tuna sized cans. The lump crab is for carb cakes or hash only.
We had a crab dip that was literally the block of cream cheese on a plate, with a can of drained crab meat on top, with cocktail sauce poured over the whole thing. You used a knife to spread it onto your cracker. I love cocktail sauce but I haven't had it in probably 20 years, I wonder if I would still like it?
Glen, what would u think of very finely chopped celery added to the recipe & before I forget- r u using Hellman’s or Kraft mayo?? 😎👍
My grandmother's recipe uses chili sauce, instead of cocktail sauce.
While on topic of Dips….. how about ideas for Super Bowl other than chicken wings and nachos :)
What wine would you serve with this? Sauvignon blanc?
So I am thinking I will stuff some chili with this for a chili rellenos
The addition of salsa sounds interesting. It seems like most crab dips have cream cheese in them. I have a recipe from the eastern shore of Maryland that doesn’t. Of course, being from Maryland, it uses fresh lump blue crab. I’ve never had canned so I don’t know how that compares.
2lb Lump Crab
3/4 of a bottle Durkee’s Famous Sauce
1 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (Hellman’s)
2 tsp Worcestershire (Lea & Perrin’s)
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Tabasco
Pinch Salt
Combine all except crab blending well. Gently fold in crab meat trying not to break up lumps.
Serve warm - Not hot with Melba Rounds.
This sounds very good only thing is have you had Melba Rounds lately? They have made them so small now it is not worth buying them anymore.
This is the origin of “UNWANTED GUEST DIP”:
As a new military wife, I was faced this a “no knock hospitality check” while the new husband was on a cross country training flight. Sat night at 11:30 , 😮ten hungry pilots were at my door expecting to be fed( things were different in those days). So in they swooped while I tried to figure out what to feed them. I was really angry so I put cat food on crackers and found some really bad orange soda left by the previous homeowner. Needless to say, the didn’t stick around. They were later amazed to discover I was a great Cook, and that they’d eaten cat food . They got exactly what they deserved.
My dad made something similar with shrimp and cocktail sauce instead of crab and salsa, no chili powder or mayo either.
