Creamy Hot Crab Dip Tips

Before you make this dip, set up the other half of the meal—the actual dippers. Slice some bell peppers, cucumbers or celery sticks. All of those options taste perfect with this cheesy seafood dip.

If you want the crispiness of chips, then make some easy low-carb crackers or pair with pork rinds.
