Notes
- Crab dip is best enjoyed on the day it is made but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
- Shredding cheese off a block if the best for creamy melted cheese but you can use pre shredded it may just not be as creamy due to the added non-caking agents used.
- Use cheddar cheese, Jalapeño Monterey Jack, or American cheese cheese if desired.
- Use any kind of crab that you'd like. Lump crabmeat, blue crab, jumbo lump or claw meat or “crab special” from a can or fresh from the seafood department. Just not imitation crab meat.
- Use light or full fat sour cream or plain greek yogurt.
