Last week, I was having a really bad day and my husband was away (he always is on the bad days it seems!), so two of my girl friends came over for a evening of pick me ups. I made my favorite nacho dip ever – a seafood version of the usual cream cheese/sour cream based dip.
My mom always made nacho dip this way, and it wasn’t until I left home that I had the salsa one. Of course, my mom’s is still my favorite. Everytime the family would go home, my mom always made this dip and we would all gather around and literally devour it in seconds. I remember once, we had company and my mom was frantic trying to find a plate big enough to fit all the dip. We were all yelling suggestions at her and she was shouting back reasons why they wouldn’t work, until finally, my sister says, very firmly and very loudly, “Just put it on two plates!” For some reason, which I know no one reading will find funny, we all cracked up laughing. Now, whenever we make this dip, we think of my mom and yell, “Just put it on two plates!”
Here’s what you need to make it:
Seafood Nacho Dip
1 pack of cream cheese (8 oz)
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
seafood sauce
artificial crab meat, chopped
grated cheese (I use cheddar and mozzarella)
green onions and/or red peppers (optional)
Beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayo until smooth. Spread on a tray (or two plates). Spread seafood sauce on top. Top with crab meat, then cheese, and green onion or red pepper (if using). Keep it in the fridge until you are ready to use it – it tastes better if you give it about an hour to firm up.
We enjoyed it with a glass of SkinnyGirl’s white cranberry Cosmo – have you tried them yet? So yummy!

Wouldn’t have thought of seafood with nachos.
I linked in a pizza made with roast chicken leftovers to Live.Laugh. Rowe’s linky party. Have a great week.

Delicious! Made this for my book club, it was exactly the recipe I was looking for and Aldi had all the ingredients. I almost put it on two plates just for the sale of family memories! Thanks for sharing.
