This creamy, spicy crab dip is so good you’ll be pushing a cracker into the corners of your serving dish to scoop up the last schmear. At least that’s what Beth and I did when we annihilated it in the Budget Bytes Kitchen (In the name of research, of course, 😂 ). It’s so easy that it comes together in three steps. And you can serve it hot or cold! Get ready for your new favorite thing to bring to the party.
What You’ll Need
This crab dip comes together in ten minutes. You should chill it before serving to thicken the cream cheese base, but you don’t have to if you’re low on time. Just serve it in a container set over ice. You can also bake it for a few minutes if you prefer to serve it hot. Crab Meat – the real stuff is expensive, so we used imitation crab meat, and the results were divine. Choose your own adventure, but my money’s on the fish forgery. If you use real crab, drain it well, or your dip will end up runny.
Cream Cheese – acts like a binder and helps keep everything together. It also thickens the consistency of your dip.
Sour cream – adds an undeniable tang and smooth mouth feel.
Cheddar Cheese – the shreds will add texture and a sharp, earthy flavor.
