I have to confess, I’m a huge sauce and dips fan! I mean there’s nothing better than dunking or dipping food and this buffalo bacon crab dip hits on all cylinders. It’s loaded with flavor but subtle enough that nothing overpowers the real star – the CRAB! Creamy, cheesey, hot out of the oven and so easy to make, I know this will be a family favorite!
If you’re not a huge bacon fan you can totally omit it from this recipe. Also be sure to take your time and pick through the crab meat carefully to ensure there aren’t any lingering shells in the crab!
