  • I like mine extra-crabby, so I baked in TWO cans of crabmeat instead of one, and it's still creamy and oh-so-yummy. photo by rubicat rubicat

    This was fantastic! Brought it to an anniversary party and it was inhaled. There wasn't a bit left over. Served it with Club crackers.

    I love 'dip' night when I make only dips for dinner... And this one is always on the menu!

    Update, wait till it cools down. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt. Much better

    Thanks for that info. But I don't have that option on my big oven anymore apparently. I even have it stored in my favs. And there nothing. Then looked it up in the glossary. And know luck there either.

    Very good! Def needs something extra to give it a bit of a kick and not be so bland. I ate it with garlic and chive crackers, which was excellent.

    We loved this easy recipe. I would suggest softening the cream cheese first and mixing all ingredients before folding in the crab meat. Also you really need to add old bay. Thank you for the recipe!
