Welcome Friends welcome back to the
kitchen welcome back to another
um recipe from the side of the fridge so
we've got this bundle of recipes live on
the side of the fridge in our kitchen at
home and today we're going to do this
recipe
um it's for crab dip
and I don't know exactly where I got
this recipe or who I asked for this
recipe but they've sent me obviously to
a website
um savoir fair and I asked for this
recipe because it wasn't
that standard crab dip made with cream
cheese mayonnaise and Old Bay
absolutely nothing wrong with that crab
dip you put that in front of me with
some uh some tortilla chips and I'm
gonna plow through it like there's no
tomorrow
I love that stuff but I like this one
because it uses uh slightly different
flavors so we put salsa in
and so we put salsa in and
I need about a quarter cup of salsa and
I'm trying to get the
thick part and leave most of the liquid
behind so I'm using a fork here
and so if you know anything about this
channel if you've visited here often
you'll know I don't really follow
recipes all that well
and so I've got the original recipe
printed out on this piece of paper and
then beside it there are pencil
scratchings of how I've changed it over
time because I like to have it a little
bit differently and originally it called
for four packages of cream cheese which
is great for a party it called for leeks
which I usually don't have on hand
and so I changed the leaks to Green
Onions I cut down on the cream cheese
and all of the ingredients by about a
quarter
and so I've got some mayonnaise here I
need about a quarter cup of mayonnaise
about that much
and it's in keeping with what I
encourage you to do all the time on this
channel is take a recipe know that you
like it and then sort of treat it as if
it's your own and change the flavor and
change the spicing a little bit
and so this one called for um chili
powder
I like chili powder but I don't always
have chili powder on hand sometimes I
have our pre-made Taco spice mix which
is what I've got here I'm going to use
that today I'll put in Chipotle chili
powder because I like that Smoky flavor
and I'll just use whatever I have in the
cupboard is really what it comes down to
so I'm just going to mix this up get
this get this going
and I'm just using a fork but you could
use a hand blender for sure just to get
this to cream together really nicely
okay that's mixed together really nicely
so I'm going to add in some chopped
green onions because I have those on
hand I usually don't have leeks in the
house and a couple cans of crab meat and
I gotta tell you I don't go all out on
the crab meat I don't buy the most
expensive cans it's not lump crab meat
there are some lumps in here but it is
mostly finer ground crab meat
it's all about flavor and that's the
biggest thing to me is is the flavor
having some of the chunks is great so
that you can identify that it's crab
meat but if I'm faced with two cans of
crab meat and one is three times the
cost of the other one
I'm going to use the less expensive more
finely ground crab meat for sure and the
last thing in is some hot sauce I have
Franks in the fridge today if I had
Tabasco I'd use Tabasco
use what you've got use what you like
use however much you think is going to
make your dip
the right amount of heat
now if you're making this for a family
gathering card night game night whatever
something like that
um
you can make this a couple days in
advance keep it in the fridge and then
just before you want to serve it to the
guests stick it in the oven and heat it
up which is what I'm going to do today
this is going to go in the fridge until
later this evening when I put it in the
oven
and it'll keep a couple days before you
eat it so I'm going to put this into an
oven proof Bowl because we have to cook
this at 350 degrees until it's bubbling
up
sometimes you'll see I scribbled in the
on the piece of paper sometimes
I'll throw some cheese on top
um if I'm feeling really wild other
times I won't
completely up to you what you want to do
so I'll cover this stick it in the
fridge and then when I'm ready to serve
it I'll stick it in the oven
it's good it's really good even cold
that's tasty
and
okay
hey Glenn hey friends snack time hot hot
okay both dishes are hot do not touch
them
um so this is uh this is if he walks
away
crab dip from the side of the fridge oh
that crab dip oh we're eating with chips
because we have to have it with bread
with bread yes I haven't had it in a
long time no
but no oh it's a classic though look at
that you over dipped
hmm
I was a little impatient what nope could
have been in the oven a little bit
longer but
the flavors there
I like the salsa
that's in it I like the salsa flavor
I mean you could you could really ramp
that up with some chopped up jalapenos
you know how fast he was back in there
[Laughter]
shrimp ring and that dip and Glenn's got
a party yep I don't need I don't need
anything else
so this is really simple
um do you make a crab dip what do you
put in yours is it the Old Bay version
do you have a completely different
version of crab dip
I'm just gonna take a snack break
because just give it a second because I
want to know about your crab dip I'm I
I'm all over this and if you're crazy
you could put in like those tiny little
cocktail shrimps
Lobster
you make it happen any fish that's in a
can you can put in this thanks for
stopping by see you again soon
