I made this for a party recently, and forgot to add the sour cream...it was still awesome! It was the first thing gone from the table. I do usually add more hot sauce, and red pepper flakes to spice it up. I love this dip!

Very Good! Have used at least 5 times already. Good responses from company and family.

Sorry... this was very bland. I tried adding more hot sauce... more cheese... more onion. Next time I will cut the lemon juice and maybe try horseradish. Disappointing.

I use this as a recipe base often. It reminds me of a friends recipe I always loved. Added old bay (lots) and white wine!! Taste, and if it doesnt' taste good enough, add more wine!! Use imitation crab meat and the rest of the recipe as listed. Tastes great if made a day in advance.

good recipe,added old bay to taste and it was great

This is your ol grannies book club recipe, way too much lemon, sour cream, cream cheese. wheres the crab ? Ditch the onions and celery. add twice as much real crab meat, add a few tablespoons of spice, etc.

very, very bland with the recipe as written. i added 5 times as much hot sauce as recommended, plus celery salt and still just average. it for sure needs twice as much crab. i really couldnt even tell it was in there! dont know what i did wrong, or if its just the recipe that is wrong. so sorry :(

I made this recipe for our Thanksgiving appetizer table. It was great. I did add (1) extra cream cheese, because I increase the crab meat, using 1 lb (we love crab meat). I used fresh picked claw meat and it was well worth the extra $$. I did omit the cheddar cheese, because I didn't want to take away from the taste of the crab meat. I also seasoned with Old Bay seasoning. My family loved it. I also think it would be good using canned crab or shrimp, if you were in a pinch and fresh was not available. Also, I use fat free cream cheese and fat free sour cream and it didn't make a difference in the taste.

Great start, but many different tastes lead to much customization. For our group, I dropped the onions, halved the sour cream (to thicken), added 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, and dolloped in heavily (15-20 drops) with the hot pepper sauce. And we love it!

Delicious! I used reduced fat cream cheese and lite sour cream and it was still very thick and creamy. Served with ritz type crackers, but they crumbled. Probably better with stronger cracker or veggies.

There just wasn't enough crab in this dip, so we doubled the amount, and served with tortilla chips. Added extra Tabasco sauce as well, for without these additions it would be rather bland. Great reviews though with the additions, I will definitely be keeping this one!

I had to add a lot to this to make it work - four cloves garlic, salt and pepper and another can of crab, plus double the hot sauce. Then it worked!

I made this for a friends buffet, and it was the first thing to disappear! People stood around the bowl scooping it up. I also made it with shrimp, and it was just as delish!

I used real crab meat thinking this would be better with the real thing. I struggled to give this dish some flavor. I put it in the frig hoping the flavor will come to life if it sits. If not, I won't make this again.

This was awesome! I wish there was a way to make it look more attractive, but when it comes to taste...it rocked!

This was a great recipe and I do not even like crab dip. I made this for a party but never send out anything I do not taste...so...everyone raved about it and asked for a recipe. One change I made was to grate some radish into the dip and also I served this on belgian endive boats which was a huge hit and gave it a bit more oniony flavor which people enjoyed.

Wow this was such a great recipe for crackers!! It was so simple i doubled the recipe so I could eat some tomorrow, but now I am not sure if there is any! Great recipe! Thanks for sharing.

I threw this together in no time and everyone loved it! This will definitely be on my repeat list!
