This was delightfully yummy and super easy to make as well. I followed the recipe pretty much as is but I did sub ff sour cream for part of the light mayo per personal taste. I also realized I'd forgotten the croutons so I topped w/bread crumbs and parm instead. I baked in a large Fiestaware bowl instead of an 8X8 for better presentation. This was very well received at a birthday dinner I made it for. I will make this regularly; thanks for a great recipe! Read More

Too crabby; not creamy enough. Try adding some cream cheese maybe? Sorry....we just didn't care for it. Read More

This is great stuff!!! I used 2 cans of Bumble Bee Fancy White Crabmeat instead of the lump crabmeat and did not use croutons. Everything else I was exactly as recipe stated. Goes great with Sociables (crackers). By the way 6 oz. of cheese equals about 1-1/2 cups of shredded. Will definitely make again!! Read More

I used this recipe with an addition of capers for 1/2 the jalapeno as stuffing for phyllo cups instead of as a dip. I also omitted the croutons and mixed the parmesan into the mixture. Every place I've taken this it has disappeared too quickly and gotten rave reviews. It's easy except for a little mess filling the phyllo cups but oh so worth it. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes then sprinkle with the paprika. Read More

This dish was fabulous. I made it to bring to a party and it was a huge hit. The only ingredient I didn't have on hand were the croutons but it didn't seem to matter. I served it with crackers. Thank you for a recipe I know I will look forward to sharing with friends and family again. Read More

A nice dish. Next time I will use less crab meat and more mayo so it's creamier. Canned crab meat works well as long as you buy the higher quality stuff. I used four 6-ounce cans of Bumblebee lump crab meat. I think next time I'll only use two of those & double the mayo. Read More
