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!

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.

This was a 10 star dish. Served it as an appetizer for Thanksgiving dinner and the whole family dug in. Loved the bread bowl but was also great with those new scoop style tortilla chips (next time I'll get the reduced salt ones tho'). Definitely a keeper will make again and again!

What a great recipe....I have a tried many in the past but this one is the winner!! Recipe at first looked long and time consuming but couldn't be easier. I loved this and so did everyone at the party. In fact it is being requested for another function!!

this is a great recipe. It was a hit at the family gathering we just had. I did lighten up the recipe alittle with lowfat sour cream nonfat cream cheese and light mayo. I also added fresh backfin crabmeat.

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.

If this receipe could get more than 5 stars I would give it that much more. I've been making this for ten years now and has made me famous for it. I have friends willing to travel 8000 miles for this one and I will be making it for Memorial Day weekend.

A great crowd-pleaser Joelle! I have served this one at several parties and everyone raves about it. The combination of seasonings really gives the crab flavor and extra zing! Thanks for sharing!

I had high hopes for this dip based on other reviews but found it to be WAY too soupy after it was cooked. Wish I had read some of the other reviews that said to leave out the heavy cream - maybe that would make a difference.
