Hot Ranch Crab Dip Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk and flour in a large bowl. Add the worchestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon zest, garlic, parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon salt; beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy; about 2 minutes. Add the scallions, chives, and crabmeat and continue beating until combined (may want to do this part by hand to prevent breaking up the crab meat too much if you prefer it chunky).
• 2. Transfer the mixture to a shallow 1-quart baking dish; sprinkle with more parmesan and bake until golden and heated through, 25-30 minutes.
• 3. Top with paprika and more chives; serve with toasted bread or crackers.

Steps:

• Stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, crab boil spice, and garlic in a medium saucepan until smooth; season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Heat the cream cheese mixture over medium-low heat until warm, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the crab, scallions, parsley and lemon juice and warm until heated through, about 1 minute more. Serve immediately.
