Spicy Crab & Cheese Dip

Crab dip is quite versatile. I've lightened it up, and tried a few variations.

BASIC:

1. chop up cooked crab or imitation crab [cheaper, yes]

2. mix with 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 cloves garlic, salt, pepper, a handful of chopped herbs, 1/4 cup cream cheese.

3. serve with bread, pita, or veggies.

NOTE; YOU CAN ALSO BAKE IT! with a thin layer of cheese and crushed crackers on top for texture. 20-25 mins at 350 F.
