Crab Dip

I thought it would be interesting to make my first recipe something other than Crab Cakes. As much as I love Crab Cakes, I think that a real smooth and creamy Crab Dip is even more irresistible! I never heard of crab dip until I was twenty-four and living in Greenville,North Carolina. I was a college student and waiting tables at a privately-owned restaurant, Annebelle's. On the menu was a crab dip, and it was good! This is the one that I make at home all the time as a treat for special occasions. Try it out, and comment back as to how you like it.

Crab Dip

• 2 packs Philadelphia brand cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon chopped onions
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  
• 8 ounces crab meat

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl,beat the cream cheese and the sour cream together until smooth. Fold in gently the remaining ingredients. Spoon dip into a medium sized cooking dish. Cook for 30 minutes or until top layer begins to bubble.
Spoon dip on toasted bread squares, crackers or even garlic toast(my mother likes this option). Enjoy.
