  • Reviews

  • “Very good, very good. I made it for the super bowel 2010. I had a little problem with the recipe but that may be just me. Step five is unclear to me. I hope the chef changes it a bit. I did not know weather the recipe called for real garlic.Garlic powder or maybe even garlic salt. I used real garlic. I served it with chips and it was popular.”

  • “Excellent dip.I cut the recipe in half but used a 6 ounce can of crab meat which I folded into the mixture at the end.I served it with sesame crackers.Delish!Made for 1-2-3 Tag.”

  • “wow i loved this,i got canned crab meat on sale and it was wonderful in this”

  • “This is really good! I made the dip the evening before I planned on serving it, and the flavors blended together nicely. I chopped everything by hand and used my hand mixer to blend the cream cheese, sour cream and spices. I used lemon pepper seasoning vs the lemon herb called for, so I only added 1 tsp of white pepper. I also added 1/2 tsp Emeril’s Hot Sauce. Served with white corn tortilla chips. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing, Nick’s Mom”
