Warm Crab Dip

My step-dad was really wanting some crab dip. I don't know if he saw it on TV somewhere, or if he saw it on a menu, but he was requesting a crab dip recipe be made by SOMEONE in our family.

My mom and I looked around and this is the recipe we decided to try. I came across it on Pinterest, and it was definitely tasty!

This is super simple to whip up. In fact, I had Jesse make it! He needed a little help getting the cream cheese to mix, but other than that, he pretty much did this himself!

It was a bug hit and everyone loved it! I got a can of crabmeat at Grossman's, a local fresh seafood store here in Groton, but you can certainly find lump crabmeat at your local grocery store. In Charleston, Publix had theirs in little clear plastic containers by the fresh seafood counter. I miss Publix  :(

Anyway! This was a fantastic dip, and I highly recommend trying it for your next potluck or get-together. I served mine with sliced baguette bread (un-toasted, since that's what everyone wanted), but there are tons of different things you can serve this with...toasted bread or baguette, pita chips, crackers, etc.

Ok guys, have a great weekend! Jesse and I are headed up to Newport, RI to visit Daddy-O and tour some fancy-schmancy mansions! See ya Monday!
