  1. Loved it. Put a little less blue cheese and added a few dribbles of Franks Wing Sauce. Next time I'm going to try with leftover chicken. Give it a try.
     
  2. It was easy, and I had plenty in the freezer. My hubby lvoes it, but I'm not a huge blue cheese fan - and you have to be for this recipe. I'll probably make this again, but cut the blue cheese in half.
     
  3. This dip is SO good! I haven't tried thawing and serving, but the stuff I ate before I put it in the freezer was very good. I was a little worried about the amount of blue cheese, but it wasn't overpowering at all. I used Gorgonzola because that's what I had in the fridge and two cans of lump crap meat. I'll definitely be making this again!
     
  4. An excellent dip! But I agree with Lady Dancer that the Bleu Cheese overpowers the crab. I suggest adding one tablespoon of old bay and one teaspoon of crushed red pepper. This may not seem like enough to do anything, but it really helps to bring out the flavor of the crab meat.
     
  5. This was easy and yummy. We ate it with potato chips watching football one day, and then the next day I put scoops in endive leaves for a fancy way. (Be sure to put the scoop in the leaf end, so you can use the root end for picking up.) I wished I would have snapped a photo of that. Also, I added some green onion slices for a bit of crunch and some paprika on top for color. Maybe because I used fresh crab, the mix was a little thick, and I think it could be better thinned with a little milk or cream instead of mayo, because I ended up with more of a mayo taste than I wanted. Didn't freeze, ate it all! Will make again.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
