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.

    I melt organic cheese on Silver Hills Gluten Free bread in the oven. The bread is dense, nutritious, delicious and can be enjoyed on its own, so the melted cheese topping is a simple but, filling snack.

    My favourite cheesy thing to make is mac and cheese. I have a few different recipes that I use, from old family recipes, to new quick and easy ones using a variety of different ingredients from tomatoes to eggs to mushroom soup mix – and lots of cheese of course! My family loves homemade mac and cheese!

    It is pretty sad when we only have grocery store where we live and the prices are so crazy that we drive 1 hour and 1/2 to go grocery shopping and we save so much more money by doing that once or twice a month than shop here and Loblaws is the first place we always go..so this card would really be nice with helping a family of four to be able to make all their favourite meals especially that crab dip..they would just go nuts its been so long..thank you for this chance and fingers crossed…xoxo

    I like to make new potatoes (microwaved or boiled) in their skins, with grated old cheddar, butter, and a dollop of sweet Thai chili sauce. It’s great comfort food on a dark cold day.

    I love cooking with cheese. One of my favourites is cheesy rice with minced veggies (peppers, peas, carrots). I use jalapeño havarti or just cheddar for it. We call it fiesta rice.

    I have discovered a new alternative to our regular pizza. I roast rounds of butternut squash in the oven, flip them and after a total of 35 minutes top the rounds as you would a regular pizza crust. Choose a good quality cheese and then broil them. This recipe has been a delicious life saver in my weight loss program.
