My friend and I loved this recipe!! I used Fresh BlackFin Crab Meat and lowfat milk products(buttermilk,cream cheese ect.) It made so much but I plan on freezing it and putting it in the crockpot for my next party in a month!

I had to make something to take to a party, but didn't have time to go to the store to buy add'l ingredients. I halved the recipe, since I only had one package of cream cheese, and used diced water chestnuts instead of artichoke hearts. It was still plenty and VERY popular! Everyone raved about it and several asked for the recipe. I'll definitely make it again.

I got mixed reviews on this one. Some thought there was too much cream cheese and others couldn't get enough of it and asked for the recipe. It was a little too creamy for me too, If I made it again, I'd probably leave out the cream cheese or the buttermilk (cause I never have it). Also, I'd serve it with bagel chips. The sourdough didn't help the creamy factor.

It wasn't the best, but I would make it again. Next time I will use less Mayo. That was all I could taste at first until the flavors melded. Also, I cooked it in one dish and had to increase cooking time to double what the recipe called for.

Very good, the only bad part was that everyone kept asking if it was crab or artichoke dip. The worst part was that I used a really good can of jumbo lump crab, so next time I think I would just cut back on the artichoke. The recipe made a huge amount which was great. I just wanted it to taste more like crab.

This was not a big hit at the party. It was somewhat bland and expensive with fresh crab and I don't think I'd make it again.

I feel bad for giving this recipe such a poor rating but it was just not for me. I really feel bad for wasting the lump crab meat my father hand picked and froze for me. Here's the thing. I love crab. I love the way it tastes and when I eat something with crab, I want crab to be the primary taste in the dish. The garlic, capers, and saltiness just totally took away from crab. I actually felt very dehydrated after eating it.. This dip just wasn't for us.

One of the best dip recipes I have ever used. I used this recipe at a party that I catered and got rave reviews and a request for it to be made again. The only thing I changed is the capers...I did not use them. You CAN NOT screw this recipe up. I used imitation crab meat from the seafood department and it was hard to tell the difference or maybe it tasted so good that no one minded. I don't recommend crab meat out of a can for this recipe. It will need to be stirred and set for a few minutes before you put it in the bread bowl. It is definitely a rich recipe but YUMMY!

This is excellent! Makes a lot . Great for parties. Made it with canned crabmeat and thought that it didn't effect the taste at all.

Really great dip! I think the bad reviews are from people who just don't know what they are doing. My changes... I did not put in the capers since I did not have any. I used high quality cheeses which I am sure helps. I used canned crabmeat nothing fancy but I think it would be even better with a higher quality lump crab meat. Took this to my family of very picky eaters and they really loved it. Thanks!!

A real crowd pleaser! The first time I made it I only tweaked it a little, and it turned out a little blend, but people still liked it. The second time, I used real crab meat AND twice as much as the recipe called for. I also held back on the artichoke, used nearly twice the amount of dill & Old Bay, and added a touch of cayenne to give it a kick. Because I had to change it up, I would have given this a 4.5.

Very good recipe. I come back to this year after year. I looked at my original copy and it was printed in 2003. Use only real crab meat. Canned doesn't do this recipe justice. I don't do the bread bowl - just serve with a variety of crackers and baguette slices. I add a bit more Old Bay (I'm in Maryland - I have to!), only about 1/4 cup of the capers. Also add a bit of crushed red pepper. Recipe is a bit expensive but worth the cost for special events/parties. (I only give 5 stars for truly exceptional recipes - I'd give this 4 1/2 if I could).

It was very easy to make as well as tasty. Although I substituted a flavored sour cream, such as onions and chives in place of basic sour cream.

I made the dip with suggestions from the other reviews but I personally think the 1/2 cup of Capers should be cut down to 1/4 cup capers !! I took the dip to my sista's house for a BBQ and EVERYONE loved the dip..It's great with Wheat thins and also I only use 1 jar of Artichoke hearts !!
