Nichole’s Famous Crab Dip

February 15, 2013 by Jaida Leave a Comment

How was your Valentine’s Day? Did you brave the crowds and go out to dinner with your honey? Or stay home and cook a nice meal? Or, did you do like I did and just hang out with your other single girlfriends? Whatever you did, I hope it was a great day/night. And speaking of Valentine’s day…the theme for this round of Sarah’s recipe swap was Special Occasion, which doesn’t necessarily mean V-day…it’s open to interpretation, right?? And for me, Superbowl is a special occasion worthy of a special recipe. I received this crab dip from Nichole of Cookaholic Wife, and let me just say that it was most definitely worthy of being a part of a Superbowl menu!

Crab Dip


Nichole created this recipe after a few trial runs, where she perfected the flavors and won the praises of many family and friends. I’m thankful that she overcame her fear of others claiming it as their own and shared it on her blog! It definitely is a rave-worthy dip that everyone should try! And, be sure to check out all the other great recipes from the swap, below!

Ingredients
  • 1 lb crab meat
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 small onion, diced
  • 12 oz reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp mayo
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tsp hot sauce
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 tsp prepared yellow mustard
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 3 Tbsp Old Bay, divided
  • crackers, pitas, bread or veggies, for dipping
Preparation
  1. Preheat an oven to 375. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Season crab mean with 1 tablespoon of Old Bay and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, onion, sour cream, mayo, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic, mustard, black pepper and the remaining Old Bay. Mix well, then add in 2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese and stir to combine. Gently fold in the crab meat.
  4. Spread a layer of the crab dip into the prepared baking dish, top with 1/3 cup of cheddar cheese. Repeat for 2 more layers, ending with cheese on top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  6. Remove the foil and bake another 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve hot with your desired dipper.

Welcome!

As a busy wife and mom who also works a full time job, I try to have dinner done in 30 minutes or less so I can spend more of my evenings with my hubby and baby girl, so what you will find here are recipes that are mostly-healthy, quick and easy. Of course I have desserts, less healthy and more time-intensive meals as well (everything in moderation!), but all-in-all, you can count on weeknight friendly options, all made with love and dished up with a side of life, love, and family!
