Every year for the last 4 years, I've been following a method for plotting out my goals so that by year-end, I accomplish a whole lot more than "I should have done this" or "maybe I could have done this, if only..." In fact, it's made me so productive that not only do I spend more time cooking and less cleaning, but I was able to write a book, spend time with my family and friends, and learn some new hobbies and skills! One thing I hold to that I've yet to fully complete, though is my goal of making 1 new recipe a week each year. That's a total of 52 recipes. I've usually come close, but have never actually done all 52 before. But guess what? This year's going to change all of that!
I definitely have recipes I make and make again, as with my recipe I'm sharing with you today...however, since I've not posted it before, and it tastes fabulous in cold weather, I'm sharing it with you today anyway! Each week, I will share a new recipe with you - that way you all can hold me accountable, and you can count on my posting a recipe at some point in a given week. So without further ado, I give you the copycat recipe for
Joe's Crabshack Hot Crab Dip that's absolutely delicious and one of our daughter's favorites! She had asked me to find a copycat recipe, and this one has earned her seal of approval in terms of taste and similarity. The dip takes just a handful of ingredients, and is so easy to throw together in under a half hour! NOTE: I've made it over Thanksgiving and tripled the servings, which did increase cooking time to about an hour, give or take. But the smaller portion as listed in the recipe itself finishes off in the oven for about 15-20 minutes and gets nice and bubbly and gooey, just the way you want it as the perfect appetizer while watching a game, or when hosting or attending a party!
