Spicy crab spread

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Whole Dungeness crab; shelled
1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese; shredded fine
½ cup Mayonnaise
¼ cup Green pepper; minced
2 Green onion; finely chopped
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Dry mustard
½ teaspoon Ground red pepper
French bread
3 cups.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients; stir until well blended. Cover and regigerate 2 hours. Serve chilled with French bread or crackers. Yield NOTES : The original recipe called for canned crab, I believe 10 oz, but since I'm in the Northwest and Dungeness is available pretty much year round, I couldn't possibly use canned crab. I usually reduce the amount of mayonaise, a little. I would start with half the amount listed and add it until you like the consistancy. and measure the cheese loosely packed - or it will get way too cheesy. Like many dips, we usually enjoy this more the next day... the flavors blend a little better.
