Hot Cheesy Crab Dip

By 298 Comments

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.

Most of us use cheese products in our everyday cooking, but we tend to get in a rut and make the same dishes time and again. The truth is, you can make endless meals without going too far from your comfort zone, taking up too much time in your day, and going outside of your grocery budget.

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.

Hot Cheesy Crab Dip was a great hit in this house, for more than its delicious taste. I only had to buy a few ingredients, and the prices at Real Canadian Superstore were really frugal. This recipe is perfect for our Christmas Eve appetizer night, yet I’m sure we’ll make this again before that time. 

Every day from September 24th to October 15th,  a daily recipe including Kraft cheese as an ingredient will be featured at CheeseTheDay.ca. All of the 23 recipes included are simple, take few low-cost ingredients from Loblaws {Real Canadian Superstore}, and prove that you can be totally inspired by your usual food essentials.

I’m eager to try many of the daily Cheese The Day recipes, and for a reminder and convenience, you can even sync the daily recipes to your online calendar for inspiration sent straight to your inbox. From there, you have the option to download/print recipes to keep for later.

Trying something new doesn’t have to be a giant leap into the unknown, head over to your local Loblaws store and pick up a Kraft cheese product, and make a delicious recipe from CheeseTheDay.ca!

There’s a great variety from dinners to after school snacks, desserts and more! 

Three cheers for Cheese The Day!

  161. 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

  289. 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.
