Three Cheese Baked Crab Dip Recipe
This is a rich and delectable crab dip recipe that nobody can deny! Three cheese baked crab dip is such a dish, well unless of course, you are allergic to seafood. lol. Your guests will be fighting to lick the bowl over this one! It is reasonably quick and easy to make, and will always accent any appy platter you make for any occasion.
For a budget friendly alternative, I have really taken a liking to the imitation King crab for many of my recipes (the imitation lobster too for that matter). It is made of a fish called Pollock and it is quite a tasty alternative to the real thing. Most kids love it without really knowing they are eating fish!
