very yummy. Added more garlic than it called for, and it turned out great!

not very good...too much mayo will definitely not be trying this one again!!

Great recipe! I made this yesterday for my dinner guests and they all loved it. I did make a few changes like suggested. I added less parmesan cheese (3/4 to 1 cup) and added a lot more crabmeat and some minced onion. Before popping it in the oven, I sprinkled some more parmesan on top.

I made this as it was written except I used imitation crab (only change I made) I served the dip with warm bagettes. What a great recipe. I will be serving this at my next family get-together because it is a keeper! Thank you for sharing.

Very good! My husband and kids loved this. I did, as other suggested, 1 cup cheese and 12oz crab meat!!! HUGE hit!!! :)

I used Canned crab - as fresh where I live is a huge expense. Made everything as the recipe states (except i completely forgot the garlic! oops - no dramas though - my brother who looooves garlic more than any other ingredient whinged when i said i forgot it - but it didnt stop him sitting there eating half of it!!!). I served it in a bread bowl with the inside bits of bread to dip in and a few sticks of celery and carrot. Even the bread bowl was gone by the end of the night! EVERYONE at the party raved! Thanks!

I love my canned crab meat, but I used (GASP) imitation crab, I'm not a fan of imitation crab, but DANG was it good. I also added baby shrimp, and fresh ground pepper, and followed everything to a T. We are eating this NOW at work, and everyone is drooling over it! YUM

not as good as crab dips I've had before, not a party killer and it went, but I didn't love it. Maybe a different cheese would have been less sharp.

Fantastic! I did tweak the recipe a bit after reading the other reviews. I doubled the crab and used a little less than one cup each of parmesan (as the recipe's author suggested) and mayo (I ran out). However, it was perfect. (After combining the ingredients I realized it was quite a lot; I baked half on Christmas and the other half two days later.) I intended to use fresh crab until I realized that 12 oz. would cost me upwards of $20! I used canned crab (about $6) and it was wonderful - no one knew the difference. I took it to Christmas and everyone loved it - even the kids! My boyfriend (who normally does not care for crab) asked why I never make this for dinner! Thanks for this wonderful success.

Everyone loved this! I used two cans of lump crab meant, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of Italin mix cheese, Garlic powder because that's all I had, 8 ounces of low fat cream cheese, and I sprinkled Season All on top. I served it in a rye marbled bread bowl. I make it for Christmas Dinner. The presentation was very nice.

This is sinful and worth it! I modified the published recipe by using fresh crab, a TON of garlic, and I added some Old Bay Seasoning. The dish brought lots of compliments on Christmas Eve!

Wonderful! Family enjoyed it,even a few very picky eaters! I made this for Christmas! The only thing I changed is I used garlic powder. Thank You!

I love this recipe and it's always been a hit at parties. I actually increased the crab to 2 cans instead of just 1. Just comes out a bit meatier. I serve with flavored wheat thins. And its great that it only dirties a spoon and the dish you're cooking it in! Thanks for a great recipe!

Really a very tasty recipe - if I could have given it 4.5, I would have. I followed the suggestions of others and I cut the mayo and sour cream down by half. I only added 1 cup of parmesean cheese and sprinkled some on top before baking along with some paprika (it made a really pretty golden crust!) Other additions: I added one tsp of lemon juice (it is always good with seafood), about a tsp of salt, and just a dash of cayenne for kick. IT WAS SO GOOD! One thing I might do in the future would be to use some fresh lump crab meat instead of the canned.

It is do Die for!

put half or less of the sour cream and especially the mayonnaise for more crab flavor
