    We arrived at almost the same recipe - can attest to its deliciousness. One ingredient that I include that I consider to be critical is finely diced red bell pepper. The bell pepper brings a vegetal freshness that cuts the intensity of the rest of the ingredients. Cheers yall!

    The smaller portions being put out as needed is brilliant - our much loved and missed former neighbor had a production line of these types of hot and cold dips ready to go for any occasions which allowed her to snap up items when they were on sale, do the prep, freeze them and...VOILA!

  • @EE-vp6xp
    @EE-vp6xp 7 месяцев назад +19

    Just a suggestion from someone from MD who uses a lot of crab, Old Bay, and Worcestershire sauce...forego the added salt. All of the prior 3 will have enough for the dip. Love your channel and your enthusiasm in your commentary. Cheers!!

    I make a crab dip which I made up, and wow! It’s just like yours! Well maybe a few little differences (no ketchup….hmmm, but maybe sriracha next time? A pinch of white pepper) I use Jack, Tillamook white cheddar, maybe a bit of gruyere. I think I use less cream cheese and more cheese. I buy the MD lump crab in those see-thru refrigerated containers that cost $30 and I don’t make as large an amount, so smaller dish….sooo good!!!
    One time I made it as our main course served in pretty French white gratin dishes….delish, but so caloric!

Going out again Thursday. It’s nice having an endless supply of $59 per pound (SoCal price) crab meat for free. The season never closes and we are allowed 12 per day. I feel like I’ve been born and am living in heaven.
