Nice recipe, but needed more for us. Hot sauce and Old Bay to the mix and horseradish to the cocktail sauce that tops this dish. Definitely use the cocktail!
I used real blue crab, added cayenne pepper and a dash of old bay. perfect
Very simple and quick to make but very good!!!
Used less crab & added shredded mozzarella. Added Louisiana Hot sauce and Cajun seasoning (that’s what I had on hand)
I have made this recipe for at least 30 years. I add garlic that is finely chopped, also finely chopped green or red pepper adds color, and I add 1/4 cup mayonaisse to make it in to a dip. I always taste for salt and black or white pepper as I do not use as much Worchestershire sauce. I realized it would be a hit when I took it to a Super Bowl party and the guys ate the entire double batch by half-time.
Great great great! Loved how simple it was to make and will definitely be adding this to the Super Bowl menu.
Made this for NYE party and it was a big hit! I made as directed except added a tsp or so of creole seasoning and instead of a ball I did a thin layer on a large platter and covered with cocktail sauce. Was sooooo good!
This cheese ball is great. I used 1 can of crabmeat instead of the imitation crab. I meant to add a little Tony Chachere’s Creole seasoning but forgot. So we sprinkled it on as we ate it and it definitely helped bring out the crab flavor. So next time I will add it to the recipe. Will definitely make again.
Mmmm? Mildly spiced? Not at all! This was the blandest tasting recipe I’ve ever tried. I added cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and eventually cajun seasoning mix to this dip to get it up to a mildly spicy state. The recipe as-is is terribly bland.
Absolutely delicious! It was gone nearly as soon as i put it on the table. I accidentally only purchased 1 package of crab, half the amount recommended (too late to go back to the store) but it turned out great. Might be a great way to save a little money 🙂
YUMO SOMETIMES THE SIMPLE THINGS ARE THE BEST! THANKS FOR SHARING I WILL MAKE THIS AGAIN FOR SURE.
Followed recipe exactly except I diced the onion and celery instead of chopping it. I like it better without the cocktail sauce which is odd because I love cocktail sauce. And I like it better with regular saltine crackers rather than club crackers. I love it straight off the spoon! 5 stars.
It would be 5 stars if my attempt at this recipe had the consistency of a normal cheese ball. However, after a day in the ‘frige’ wrapped up in plastic “ball” it did not really stay as such. My guests liked it and used as a thick spread.
Excellent!!!!!!!!! I used scallions and a bit of fresh basil and cilantro (have a herb garden) The second time had real crab and shrimp on hand very amazing! Love this recipe any way you choose. I ate the entire thing myself and had to make another the next day for it’s intended purpose (a party)!
This is a family favorite. I get great comments on this everywhere I take it. SO YUMMY!
Great recipe! I made this because I had all the ingredients and my family likes imitation crab. When I first mixed it and formed it into a ball, it looked really unappealing to me. But I let it chill, poured cocktail sauce over it before serving it, then proceeded to DEVOUR it! As did everyone else. The cocktail sauce was definitely a crucial ingredient. At the party I went to there was also a warm crab dip made with real crab (which I love and usually prefer to everything else), and the Devil Crab Cream Cheese Ball that I made got polished off long before the warm crab dip.
Everyone at our party loved this dip. I took the advice and put the cocktail sauce on top and it was great! Thanks!
Made this for a 30th party and it was a hit. I was a little discouraged when making it because I used fat-free cream cheese and the ball was not working too well. In the end though, it turned out excellent and the cocktail sauce was a great addition. Easy and quick. Great recipe.
Everyone at my party loved it! It was perfect!
This needed some garlic powder and maybe some cayenne.
This was good. I would recommend it, but it is not being added to my ultimate recipe collection.
