Tati's Hot Crab Dip

Submitted by Jociecee

"My daughter was begging for lobster but it was too expensive so I bought a can of crab from Trader Joe's and she and I came up with a delicious crab dip recipe. She picked the ingredients and I chose the amounts. Since most crab dips contain ingredients that she does not like, I told her to tell me what she wanted in it and it was yummy! She wanted me to share the recipe with you."

This recipe got mixed reviews at my house. I thought it had great flavor but just needed a little something to keep it a bit moister. Maybe some cream cheese or something next time. Thanks for sharing this :) Made for Spring PAC 2009.
