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!

Wish I could rate this recipe ten! It is just wonderfully delicious. Loved the chunks of lump crab meat and the extra zip of the Cajun seasoning!
