Hot Cajun Crab Dip

What’s not to love about a hot, gooey, cheesy crab dip?!  This recipe is so simple to prepare – Just throw everything (except crab meat) into a bowl, stir to combine, fold in the crab meat, transfer to a baking dish and bake.  Easy peasy!  

This recipe is not overly hot or spicy by any means… it has just enough of a kick to satisfy my taste buds without being overwhelming.  If you’re hard-core about loving hot and spicy foods, simply increase the amounts of cajun seasoning, horseradish and/or hot sauce to your liking.

I can’t think of ANY party where hot crab dip wasn’t a welcomed appetizer.  Serve it with toasted pita points, celery, carrots or crackers.

How many servings is this crab dip?

This recipe yields approximately 4 cups of dip.  It totally depends on your guest’s appetites, because I’ve seen people eat a cup of this dip at one sitting!  

Enjoy!
