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.

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 crabmeat for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crabmeat, frozen crabmeat is a good substitute. Just be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the crab dip. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the crab dip immediately. It is best when it is hot and bubbly. You can serve it with crackers, vegetables, or bread.
  • Add your own favorite ingredients. You can add chopped green onions, diced bell peppers, or shredded cheese to the crab dip. You can also adjust the amount of mayonnaise or sour cream to your liking.
  • Make the crab dip ahead of time. You can make the crab dip up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover it and refrigerate it. When you're ready to serve it, reheat it in the oven or microwave until it is heated through.

Conclusion:

Southern Living's Confetti Crab Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is packed with flavor and can be served with a variety of dippers. With a few simple tips, you can make the best crab dip that everyone will love.
