I have made this recipe for at least 30 years. I add garlic that is finely chopped, also finely chopped green or red pepper adds color, and I add 1/4 cup mayonaisse to make it in to a dip. I always taste for salt and black or white pepper as I do not use as much Worchestershire sauce. I realized it would be a hit when I took it to a Super Bowl party and the guys ate the entire double batch by half-time.

Made this for NYE party and it was a big hit! I made as directed except added a tsp or so of creole seasoning and instead of a ball I did a thin layer on a large platter and covered with cocktail sauce. Was sooooo good!

This cheese ball is great. I used 1 can of crabmeat instead of the imitation crab. I meant to add a little Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning but forgot. So we sprinkled it on as we ate it and it definitely helped bring out the crab flavor. So next time I will add it to the recipe. Will definitely make again.

Mmmm? Mildly spiced? Not at all! This was the blandest tasting recipe I've ever tried. I added cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and eventually cajun seasoning mix to this dip to get it up to a mildly spicy state. The recipe as-is is terribly bland.

Absolutely delicious! It was gone nearly as soon as i put it on the table. I accidentally only purchased 1 package of crab, half the amount recommended (too late to go back to the store) but it turned out great. Might be a great way to save a little money :)

Followed recipe exactly except I diced the onion and celery instead of chopping it. I like it better without the cocktail sauce which is odd because I love cocktail sauce. And I like it better with regular saltine crackers rather than club crackers. I love it straight off the spoon! 5 stars.

It would be 5 stars if my attempt at this recipe had the consistency of a normal cheese ball. However, after a day in the 'frige' wrapped up in plastic "ball" it did not really stay as such. My guests liked it and used as a thick spread.

Excellent!!!!!!!!! I used scallions and a bit of fresh basil and cilantro (have a herb garden) The second time had real crab and shrimp on hand very amazing! Love this recipe any way you choose. I ate the entire thing myself and had to make another the next day for it's intended purpose (a party)!
