Delicious Crab Dip (serves 4-6 as an appetizer)


11 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 small onion, finely chopped
salt and pepper to taste
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked
1 (1 pound) loaf, round, crusty italian bread

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2) In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, onion, mayonnaise, crabmeat, garlic powder,
salt and pepper. Spread mixture into a 1 quart baking dish.
3) Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. While the dip is baking, cut a circle in the top of
the bread, and scoop out the inside to create a bread bowl. Tear the removed bread into
pieces for dipping.
4) Remove baked crab dip from the oven, and stir well.
Spoon the mixture into the hollowed out loaf. Place bread bowl and chunks of bread on a
medium baking sheet, and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Serve hot.
