[rec.food.recipes] CRAB: Hot Crab Dip

jcrowder@groupw.cns.vt.edu (Jeff Crowder) (12/11/90)

Here's a nifty chip or veggie dip which you serve up warm.  Great for
holiday guests!

8   oz  cream cheese softened
7.5 oz  crab meat flaked and rinsed
2   Tbs chopped onion
2   Tbs milk
1.5 tsp horseradish (I add a little more)
.25 tsp salt
dash pepper

Mix all ingredients and slap in a casserole dish.  If you're feeling
punchy, sprinkle some sliced almonds over the top.  Bake at 375 for 15
minutes.  Serve hot!

Tip:  if you use canned crap meat, get the perishable stuff and try to
use (in order of preference) backfin, lump, or special.  Do NOT go with
the cheap variety found on an unrefrigerated shelf.
