Kitchen Confessions: Spicy Crab Dip

I love appetizers.  Crackers with dips or spreads are my jam and I'd be happy to eat them for dinner just about every night of the week.  I love easy, make ahead recipes like this Spicy Crab Dip that I made for our Father's Day celebration last weekend.  I was able to put everything together the night before and then just popped it in the oven right before we were ready to have it.  Everyone LOVED it, even though some of my kids didn't know they were eating crab until after the fact. We followed this up with a big steak dinner, but honestly, I would have been fine with just this!
