Yummmmmmmy! This was very good, even with my using lowfat ingredients. I wont add as many artichokes next time (and there will totally be a next time) because my kids discovered that they hate them. Haha, it was great, thanks!!

This was good but not the hit I was expecting it to be for our Christmas party. Real crab would have been better than canned.

This is a great recipe. My husband and co-workers raved about it. Don't hesitate to try this one.

I tried this for thanksgiveing dinner and it was NOT very good, way to creamy. someone did take it home but i think is was to take the container i put it in home.

I thought it was a bit runny, but re-heated really well. I also thought it was too garlicky (and that's rare for me) so next time I will use less garlic and more artichokes.

Wasn't as good as I thought it would be, kinda tasted like mayo mixed with crab.

Didn't love this recipe. It would have been better with real crab. It's also a lot of work and the dip at Costco taste better.

Overall this was very good. It was a little bit to runny for my taste, but we ate it as an open faced sandwich on asiago cheese bread. (VERY GOOD) So I bet if you ate it in the sourdough breadbowl as recommened it would be even better. Very good though.

I use the lighter cream chesse also as suggested by another reviewer. My guests loved it and even offered to eat only this instead of the steak and shrimp dinner. I would add more fresh crab to thicken it up though

We made this tonite as an appetizer for dinner. Took the advice of some others and skipped the heavy cream - also skipped the mayo (I just don't really like it). Instead of baking it the whole way, we also microwaved the cream cheese, sour cream, etc together until it was heated through and smooth, then put it in the bread and sprinkled the cheese over it, threw it in the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese got melty and bubbly. MMMMMMM it was good. I looked away, and the whole loaf, bread and all, was gone. Also the store didn't have sourdough, so I used pumpernickle. Easy to make, easy to eat, easy to clean up (ya eat the bowl!) Can't beat that!

This recipe is a hit! I lightened it up by substituting low fat mayo and Neufchatel cheese for cream cheese. I also doubled the amount of crabmeat (2 lbs). It seemed that it would be too thin with the heavy cream, so I left it out completely. With these changes, I would give the recipe 5 stars, but it definitely needs thinning. Also is served well with club crackers.

I started with this recipe, but then veered off a little bit - added an extra half package of cream cheese and sour cream, cut down to about 2/3 cup for the mayo and heavy cream, and used sharp yellow cheddar. I misread the directions the first time and mixed in 2 tablespoons (not teaspoons!) of Old Bay so it was a bit spicy but still good. I've made it once with crab and once with shredded chicken, and it's tasty either way.

I took this dip to a football party, and it was a hit! There was nothing left over. Instead of canned crab meat, I used real crab meat and added just a little more than the recipe called for, and it was perfect.

I have never made anything in my life other than microwave dinners. My friend Joel made an artichoke and crab dip once, and he was going to make another one for our holiday party, but then he couldn't come. He is a lazy guy and didn't send me his recipe, but I found this one among 3 or 4 others on the Internet. I made this with no trouble at all and it was a ROUSING success. Every person who tried it wanted the recipe and could not believe that I made it. I listened to some of the reviews and went a little heavier on the cream cheese and used about 1/2 of the amount of heavy cream.... was excellent! …better than the best crab dip you can get at the best places in Maryland.

i made this for xmas party full of brits who never knew crab could be so tasty. being from the mid-atlantic region, i miss having crab dip and crabcakes on every menu! absolutely wonderful...

Great dip! I took it to our happy hour tonight at the clubhouse (Active Adult Community) and everyone loved it! I used the packaged imitation crab (1 lb.) and everything else except the heavy cream, but I mixed in the cheddar cheese and seafood seasoning and just took it in the 9 x 13 baking dish, since I didn't have the sourdough bread. Folks were wanting to eat it with a fork. It was delicious - thanks for sharing.

Very tasty, brought it to a party and everyone loved it!

I was disappointed in this recipe. It was too wet and not very flavorful. Would not make it again.
