ARTICHOKE AND CRAB SPREAD
I bought a similar spread at the grocery store a while back, and I thought that I could do it better and cheaper myself. You can use imitation crab, instead of the real thing if you like. I use cooked and frozen artichoke hearts or you can buy fresh artichokes, and cook the hearts up yourself.

ARTICHOKE CRAB SPREAD (FOR THE CROCK POT)
This is a great tasting dip that can be put together quickly. It has a thick spread consistency, but can easily be thinned with milk for dip with chips based on personal preference.

CROCK POT SHRIMP AND ARTICHOKE DIP OR CRAB AND ARTICHOKE DIP
This is so perfect for entertaining or to serve on Game Day. This dip stays soft and warm the whole time, doesn't get cold and solidified like many other artichoke dips I have made. You can make either the shrimp version or the crab version, or even substitute clams if you prefer. Also, I have added a small can of drained water chestnuts on occasion. ** Also, I use my small slow cooker for this recipe and just leave it on all day - think it's a 2 quart cooker ** One more note - one of my girlfriends loved this so much that she made the recipe as is and served it over linguini for Sunday Pasta.

Steps:
- Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray.
- Add all ingredients to slow cooker and combine. Cover.
- Cook on low 1 or 2 hours.
- Stir until well blended after cooking.
- You can leave this on "keep warm" setting all day, stirring occasionally, if cheese clumps or separates from sitting.
- Serve with pita wedges, cocktail rye, or sliced crusty baguette type bread.
Tips:
- Use fresh artichoke hearts for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have any fresh artichoke hearts on hand, you can use canned artichoke hearts instead. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
- Shred the crab meat into small pieces before adding it to the crock pot. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the spread.
- Use a good quality cream cheese for the best results. A low-fat cream cheese will not have as rich a flavor.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped green onions to taste. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Cook the artichoke crab spread on low heat for 2-3 hours, or until it is heated through. Stir it occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the crock pot.
- Serve the artichoke crab spread warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This artichoke crab spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh artichoke hearts, crab meat, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and green onions, and is cooked in a crock pot until heated through. Serve it warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables, and enjoy!
