I started making this appetizer way back in college. I’m pretty sure it’s a recipe my sister gave to me. Easy appetizers for entertaining have always been a draw for me. This Crab Spread requires no cooking at all. It’ll be prepared in minutes. And you can prepare it hours ahead of your party too. Just keep it refrigerated and take it out when you’re ready to serve it.
How to make Crab Spread:
The first layer of this spread is a simple mix of cream cheese, grated onion, Worcestershire sauce, mayonnaise and lemon. Don’t skip the Worcestershire because it will add a good amount of flavor to this crab spread. Next you’ll drizzle some chili sauce on top and spread it to cover the cream cheese layer. Chili sauce is not spicy. It’s a sweet sauce found near the ketchup. In fact, most of the time I just buy the Heinz chili sauce brand (like the ketchup!) Finally, you’ll sprinkle crab on top. Use canned crab- it won’t matter! Canned crab is perfectly fine, and it works great for this Crab Spread appetizer.
I like to slice up cucumber to serve with Crab Spread. People who are eating low carb at your party will appreciate that! You can also put out some crackers. Crab spread is good on everything!
