Recipe #30: Crab Rangoon Dip

Source: Pinterest via www.recklessabandoncook.com

Ingredients:

2 cans crab meat
16 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
4 green onions, chopped
1-1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. lemon juice.

Directions:

First, soften the cream cheese in the microwave for about a minute.

Chop green onions.  Add them and your two cans of crab meat (drained).

Add the sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, powdered sugar, garlic powder and lemon juice.

Mix all ingredients and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.  Serve hot with chips or fried wontons.

Variations:

None


This had all the makings of a successful dip. Cream cheese - check! Crab meat - check! Eat it with Wheat Thins (my preferred dip vehicle) - check!

Yet, this didn't quite do it for us.  We all agreed that we could really taste the powdered sugar, which was more a distraction than a flavor enhancer.  I'm not sure what the purpose was in adding it, but if I were to try to make this again, I would definitely leave it out.
