Warm Crab Dip -- w
Makes about 4 cups

1 lb. lump crabmeat
1/2 c. butter (No Substitutes) (1 stick), cut up
2 8-oz. pkgs Light cream cheese, cut up (Neufchatel)
1/4 tsp. ground red pepper (cayenne)
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Optional: Toasted bread rounds or crackers

Pick through crabmeat to remove any pieces of shell or cartilage, making sure not to break up large pieces of meat. In a 3-qt saucepan, heat butter, cream cheese and red pepper over medium-low heat about 6 minutes or until mixture is warm and creamy, stirring constantly. Add crab meat and gently stir just until heated through about 2 minutes longer.

Transfer dip to mini slow-cooker or fondue pot to keep warm, or transfer to serving bowl. Sprinkle with green onion. Serve dip with toasted bread or crackers.
