There is something to be said about warm dip. I prefer it over salsas and guacamole for sure. Probably because warm dip almost guarantees there will be some sort of dairy product in it, most likely of the cheese variety. A long while ago we made an Artichoke and Roasted Garlic dip, one of my favorite things to make of all time in the world of dips. So delicious. I am happy that we are now giving you another warm dip recipe, this time a Hot Crab Dip. The thing about this crab dip is that it is LOADED with crab, like as much crab as we could possibly fit into this recipe without it just being crab. My other favorite parts are the corn, which gives this dip a nice texture, and the bell pepper. All delicious and live together so nicely when baked and smeared on a warm toasted crostini. We made this for recipe for all your people that watch the Super Bowl. I will be watching that one live stream that has kittens and puppies running around a mini football field because that is much more my speed. Enjoy!
