Fish and Seafood Recipes | Dips and Spreads Recipes

Yield: 8 to 10 servings

Tasty and easy to prepare -- even less of a hassle if you make it ahead and refrigerate or freeze it until it's needed. The contributor notes that her family, having experimented with many types of crackers, recommends Ritz as the best complement for the dip.

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, at room temperature
  • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 2 cups grated American cheese (approximately 1/2 pound)
  • 1 container (16 ounces) sour cream
  • 1 heaping tablespoon minced dried onion
  • 1 package (14 to 16 ounces) frozen crab meat and/or imitation crab meat

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together all the ingredients in a large casserole dish. Bake, uncovered, for 45 to 60 minutes, until the mixture is bubbling and the top is browned. Stir before serving hot with crackers.

This is a very good tasting recipe & I do recommend it. It's simple and doesn't take long to prepare-yet it yields many servings. Good for parties. – Anonymous Review

This recipe is so easy to make and it always gets rave reviews. Served it at a bridal shower last weekend and had several people ask for the recipe. Quick, easy, and delicious. – Anonymous Review

I made this for my work Thanksgiving potluck buffet, and it VANISHED! LOL I used three 6-ounce cans of lump crabmeat and it was just sooooo good. (BTW, it DID taste best on Ritz crackers- thanks for the great hint!) – Anonymous Review
