1/4 teaspoon hot sauce for a cajun dish? I started out thinking that was odd, but thought maybe the horseradish would make up for it. My only addition at first was to add shrimp. After 30 minutes of cooking, I took it out of the oven but it was still a little runny so I was going to put it back in the oven and decided to taste it first. I had to get busy and start adding red pepper flakes, green onion tops, bay seasoning and black pepper. I think it's a great base, but certainly not enough heat for a dish that is from Louisiana.

This was an okay crab dip. Not a lot of great flavors...mostly cream cheese.

This dip was a hit! I took other peoples' suggestions and added 2 tsp of Old Bay Seasoning and then added a layer of finely grated cheese before the bread crumbs. Delicious and a keeper!

a pretty good dip. it was rather thick, for my taste, although my fiance and fellow co-workers enjoyed it. next time, i will use less onion (as everyone suggests), more hot sauce, and something else to make it less thick.

This was very tasty, but I have to agree with one reviewer that noted that the onion was a tad too strong, and I LOVE onion! I added a touch of Mayo, b/c every crab dip I have tried in the past calls for that. I also halved this recipe all but the crab, I used one shredded crab can and the other lump, and that was very tasty. I also skipped the paprika and substituted Old Bay seasoning instead, b/c I bought this HUGE can of it, and need to figure out a good way of using it up! Aside from the onion, which I wouldn't omit, but use less of, this was very tasty.

I was looking for a crab filling to use in fillo cups, noticed this recipe and saw reviewer DECAR48's idea. Half the recipe, add a bit more hot sauce and leave out the crumbs. Simple, tasty and perfect for guests. I will be making this again and again.

Couldn't be any better - this was an easy and flavorful dip. All of my guests commented on how good it was - there were a couple who were eating it with a fork, like it was a salad or something. The only thing I altered was to add a bit more horseradish to kick it up a notch. Anyway, thank you very much for sharing this recipe.

I made this for my company christmas party and they liked it, but i had to and more crab to make it taste like it had crab in it and added lemon pepper, gralic and mayo to thin it out a bit because it was to thick to dip on a craker. After all that it was good.

This turned out very good. Not too hot at all, so I upped the heat with a few more splashes of hot sauce and a few shakes of cayenne pepper and everyone love it. I did half the recipe but still used 2 cans of the crab as previous reviews suggested and it turned out great. Thanks for a great recipe!!

This was very tasty, though I did tweek it a little. I added an additional can of crab meat, a few sprinkles more of hot sauce, a few shakes of Old Bay, and used lower fat cream cheese, and only half an onion. It turned out great and everyone loved it. (It's also awesome cold the next day!)

I halved this recipe and put it in mini phyllo shells. Then in the oven til hot. It was very good, but only filled 15 shells (one package). Didn't bother with the bread crumbs,just sprinkled some paprika on top of each.
