Mild Hot Crab Dip
The perfect appetizer is a creamy mild hot crab dip. You’ll know it when you take this appetizer to your next party!
Served warm and spread over crackers, this dip is so delicious, you’ll bring home an empty bowl. The bonus is that the recipe is super easy, so you can make it any day!
Party people are snacking people. Set out some drinks and some snacks and you’ll see what I mean. Very few people come to a party expecting a full, seven course meal.
Of course, if you’ve specifically planned a candle light supper and invited people with that in mind, then they will be expecting the best linen and china!
The kind of gathering I usually have, is much more casual and laid back. The coffee is hot and the conversation lively. Snack foods are exactly what we need.
This bowl of mild crab dip didn’t last very long. If you’re having a crowd over, or just inviting one super seafood loving friend, you’ll want to double this recipe.
One of the best things about this appetizer, aside from the great flavor, is the simplicity of the recipe. Honestly, if you can melt cheese, you can make this.
I bought shredded Cheddar cheese to make my mild crab dip, because I was in a hurry and #ConvenienceCooking ingredients are always on hand at my house. You could shred your own cheese if all you have is a block of Cheddar in the fridge.
