Terrific Crab Dip (Warm Flavorful Crab Dip)
"This is really "terrific crab dip". I have made this on many occassions. Every time I go to a candle party, a jewelry party, or any kind of home retail party, I am asked to bring this... It's warm & cheesy and oh so good. FYI- you can use fresh lump, frozen, or canned crabmeat... You can even substitute with imitation crab meat or shrimp in a pinch... If you want to add a little kick to this, you can stir in red pepper flakes before baking..."

It was OK, it did have plenty of cheese as the description says but I really thought the flavor was very bland, and it didn't come out very creamy (maybe I did something wrong, but the recipe was easy enough to follow) or smoothe so it was rather hard to use as dip -
We made this dip along with your "spinach artichoke crock pot dip and your sausage balls" for family Sunday that everybody comes over for. Everything was so good and all gone. * * * * * five stars -
I served this last night when we had company over and it was YUMMMMMMO. My goal is now to try all of your recipes Blondie. This was so delicious. I wasn't sure how it would be with the eggs but it was all the rage last night.
