An easy, elegant crab dip, ideal for parties. Serve with tortilla chips, pita chips, French bread, whatever...
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup 505 Chipotle Honey Salsa
- (or Safeway Chipotle Salsa, or chipotle salsa of your choice)
- ⅓ cup milk
- 3 8-oz packages of cream cheese, cubed
- 16 oz imitation crabmeat, flake style
- 1 cup thinly sliced green onions
- ½ cup diced green chiles (either hot or mild will do, depending on desired heat level)
Instructions
- Stir milk and salsa together, then pour into a crockpot coated with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stir in cream cheese, crab, onions, and chiles.
- Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Add additional chiles if you wish to adjust heat level.
- Serve with French bread, crackers, or tortilla chips.
Notes
No crockpot? You can simmer this, covered, over a double boiler. Or you can microwave on a low power level, let it sit for a half hour, then microwave again just to heat it up enough to serve.
The key is to use low heat with this - you don't want it to scorch or boil, which will cause ingredients to separate rather than blend.
