This dip is outrageously easy to make, especially if you use bottled cocktail sauce. But why would you? Add just a few more ingredients and you can have yummy homemade cocktail sauce. If you've never done it, do it. You won't believe the difference.
Have fun with this dip! I've detailed a basic presentation below, but as you can see above, being creative doesn't require fancy dishes!
What's In It:
1 8 oz. block cream cheese
6 to 8 oz. canned crabmeat (Crabmeat comes lots of ways. You can find cans on the shelf next to tuna. I've also seen it in foiled bags. But I wouldn't buy either one of those. Buy crab refrigerated in your grocer's meat and/or seafood department.)
1 12 oz. jar seafood cocktail sauce (Or make your own by combining 2 c. ketchup with 2 tbl. prepared horseradish and 1 tbl. chili sauce. Once you've tasted your homemake cocktail sauce you'll never buy bottled again!)
1 head buttercrunch lettuce (Any ornamental lettuce will do)
How To Make It:
Place block of cheese on bed of lettuce. Using a fork, place crabment on top of cheese allowing it to fall over sides of block. Pour cocktail sauce over crab long-ways over cheese block.
Serve with your favorite brand of cracker.
