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.

HOT CHEDDAR-CRAB DIP



Hot Cheddar-Crab Dip image

Topped with buttery, toasted breadcrumbs, our hot crab dip has a bechamel base-smoother than the standard cream cheese. The result will be the hit of the party.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons dry mustard
4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus freshly grated zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
10 ounces lump crabmeat, picked over
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 loaf rustic bread (about 1 pound), trimmed of crust and torn into 1-inch pieces (4 to 5 cups)
Baguette slices, toasted, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes. Whisk in flour; cook, whisking constantly, 4 minutes. Continue to whisk; pour in milk in a slow, steady stream. Simmer over medium heat, whisking, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in cayenne and mustard. Gradually whisk in cheese; whisk until melted.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and Worcestershire. Stir in crabmeat and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a 1-quart ovenproof dish.
  • Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter; stir into bread pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange bread mixture over crab dip. Bake until heated through and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes. Serve with baguette slices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, use the best quality canned or frozen crab meat you can find.
  • Don't overcook the crab. Crab meat is very delicate and can easily become tough if it is overcooked. Cook the crab just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • 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 melts well. Some good options include cheddar cheese, Gruyère cheese, or Parmesan cheese.
  • Add some flavorings. You can add some flavorings to the dip to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the dip immediately. This dip is best served immediately after it is made. It can be reheated, but it will not be as good as when it is first made.

Conclusion:

Hot crab and cheese dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with fresh crab meat, cheese, and a few simple seasonings. This dip can be served with crackers, chips, or vegetables. It is also a great addition to a seafood buffet.
