Hot Cheesy Crab Dip
While this one is fantastic, I also suggest checking out Jalapeño Popper Dip, Warm Mushroom Dip, or the ever-popular Spinach and Artichoke Dip.
I was surprised at how fast I put together this Hot Cheesy Crab Dip, and it only took 15 minutes of baking too!
Sometimes when you’re going to a gathering, when you want to take a dip along – this is all the time you have to whip something up.
For this reason, it’s been my go-to a few times. It’s that reliable dip recipe that you’ll be thankful you have!
I loved that in no time I had a great cheese appetizer dish on the table for my family to enjoy.
We devoured a good majority, the creamy warm taste is amazing. Then, after a quick re-heat the next day, it was the perfect mid-afternoon snack.
There are a few essential items that our home is never without, and cheese is one of them. It’s a necessary ingredient in most of our family meals, from casseroles to sandwiches.
In fact, combing through our favourite recipes just on my blog alone, I’d say a great majority of them call for cheese. Especially when it comes to dip recipes.
I adore appetizer dips, they are so great as snacks to brining along for parties. I have many dip recipes on this blog, as you might know.
They also make the perfect snack, especially when you have kids plus their friends over.
