Hot Hatch Chile and Crab Dip
In need of a good football-watching snack? I figured. That’s why I made this delicious Hot Hatch Chile and Crab Dip. This dip is seriously good. It’s different from the old standby dips from the grocery store and it’s served warm, which is nice since it’s chilly (or downright cold) outside in most parts of the country.
This recipe is made with diced green chilies from Hatch. You can use mild or hot, depending on your preference for spice. It can be made much more budget friendly by using gluten-free imitation crab instead of real crab.
Serve this with gluten-free crackers, tortilla chips, or vegetables like celery sticks, carrots, and sliced mini bell peppers. I ate this with pork rinds to keep it Keto and it was so good!
