If you like hot crab dip then you’ll love this version. It is definitely kicked up a knotch from the older recipes that have been around for a while. Great with your favorite cracker or chips. Thanks to Back Porch Swing on Facebook for this great appetizer / party food.
Reviews for: LOUISIANA HOT CRAB DIP
– This is the only crab dip I have found that is some what similar to mine. My measurements differ and has some additions. Everyone goes nuts over this: 1 small can crab meat drained, 1- 8oz. pkg. cream cheese softened, 1 c. mayonaise.( I think you could cut that in half if fat conscious, but I don’t think it would be as creamy.) Can add 1/2 cup minced onion, but I never do. Also, 1 T.lemon juice, 1/2 c. grated cheddar, 1/4 tsp. dry mustard, 1 tsp. worcestershire sauce. Mix all together into pie plate. Bake 350 for 30 min. You can also use 1-6oz. pkg. frozen crab meat thawed in place of canned. You can also add a can of tiny shrimp or sprinkle slivered almonds on top before baking. Serve with a nice butter cracker for spreading. This is our favorite crab dip made this way. I gave it 5 stars cuz it is similar to this dip with some changes. Thanks!
– I’ve made this recipe twice so far, to many great reviews. Although, I did make a few changes. I followed a few suggestions that I had read before. I only used half of the amount of cream cheese (this happened the first time because I didn’t have enough)and half the amount of cheddar cheese. Instead of paprika and hot sauce, I used about 1.5 – 2 tsp Old Bay seasoning. Then, I seerved it up with tortilla chips.
– I thought this was excellent but I used Velveeta cheese instead of the cheddar and salad dressing in place of the mayo. I used my own judgment on the amount of ingredients to use.
