Hot Crab Dip
Crab is so yummy! I had some leftover imitation crab and thought, what could I make with this? I decided on this Hot Crab Dip! You could use real crab as well for this recipe! This dip is delicious served with crackers, tortilla chips, pretzels, anything really! It's sort of spicy, it's cheesy, kind of zesty! Yum! You could even put it on a sandwich! I ended up making a grilled mac and cheese later on with this dip! I love repurposing leftovers and bringing new vibrancy to them! Sometimes as a mom I have to get crafty when my preschooler feels like being choosy. This dip did not disappoint! I can't wait to take this to the next family event!
