Ingredients

3 tsp Dan-O’s Cajun seasoning
1-2 cups shredded crab meat
2 blocks of cream cheese (16 oz) softened to room temperature
1 4oz can of diced green chiles, drained
2–3 tbsp, diced pickled jalapeños (plus 1 tsp of the juice)
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tsp minced garlic
Toasted pita bread, for serving

Let’s Make It!

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Make the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Using a hand mixer or just a spoon, blend everything until it's smooth and creamy.
Add the minced garlic, Dan-O’s Cajun Seasoning, pickled jalapeños, and a splash of jalapeño juice. Mix until all those bold, zesty flavors are evenly combined.
Gently fold in the green chiles and crab meat, and stir just enough to distribute everything evenly without breaking up the crab too much.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the dip is hot, bubbly, and lightly golden around the edges.
Let the dip cool for a minute or two—it's molten lava levels of hot right out of the oven. Serve warm with toasted pita bread, crackers, tortilla chips, or fresh-cut veggies. Yum Yum Get Ya Sum!
