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.
This Hot Cheesy Crab Dip recipe is one such gem included in a new partnership with Kraft Heinz and Loblaws. ‘Cheese the Day’ is intended to help households across the country have fun with cheese in new and unexpected ways!!
- 1 cup Philadelphia Light Cream Cheese Product
- 1/3 cup Miracle Whip Calorie-Wise Spread
- 1-1/2 cups Cracker Barrel Shredded Light 4 Cheese Italiano Cheese divided
- 3 green onions chopped, divided
- 1 can crabmeat 120 g, drained, flaked
- Triscuit Thin Crisps Original Crackers
-
Heat oven to 350°F.
-
Mix cream cheese product and dressing until blended.
-
Reserve 1 Tbsp. each shredded cheese and onions for garnish. Add remaining shredded cheese, onions and crabmeat to cream cheese mixture; mix well. Spread onto bottom of 1-L baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
-
Bake 15 min., stirring after 10 min. Garnish with reserved shredded cheese and onions. Serve with crackers.
Serve with cut-up fresh vegetables in addition to the crackers.
I was surprised at how fast I put together this Hot Cheesy Crab Dip, and it only took 15 minutes of baking too!
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!
