It doesn’t matter what kind of entertaining I do, I want to have appetizers out for my guests to munch on when they arrive. I think appetizers break the ice and get the conversation going. I want my appetizers to be simple and delicious like this Easy Crab Dip with Bacon recipe.
What is it about appetizers? I spend more time searching for appetizers than I do a dinner dish. What I want is a recipe that people want to eat but doesn’t take all day to make.
John and I were having a late dinner and I thought instead of having a late lunch that maybe coming up with a “happy hour” appetizer might be fun. I’m always looking for new ideas and after walking through the isles of my local Baker’s Store went to work.[Tweet “Easy Crab Dip #Recipe @BakersGrocery”]
It all started with this beautiful container of lump crab meat that I found in the meat department. When you live in Nebraska, you can’t go crabbing (whining) so finding fresh seafood isn’t always that easy to do. This Lump Crab was luscious and I didn’t want to cover up its’ tender sweet flavor. It’s definitely the star of this recipe.
Don’t have time to make it now? Pin it for later!
