Cheesy Seafood Dip
Need a quick and easy recipe to impress your holiday guests or a dish to take to an upcoming holiday party? Look no further than my Cheesy Crab Dip.
This is a hot dip I serve with toasted French bread and the best part…you can prepare it the night before and cook it right before your event.
The key to any good recipe is the ingredients you use, so choose wisely on the crab and cheese. I only use lump crab meat for this dish, which I get from my friend Chris Perkins, who owns Express Foods (a seafood delivery business in our region). You can also find his lump crab meat at Horrmann Meats in Springfield, MO., or at Farmers Market of the Ozarks every Saturday from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm, year-round.
I promise this dip will be your new favorite part of the the holiday season! Cheers and Merry Christmas…
