Crab Queso

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Servings: 6-8

Warm, creamy queso gets a seafood upgrade with tender pieces of Handy Lump Crab Meat. With just two main ingredients, this easy Crab Queso Dip comes together in minutes for game days, parties, or anytime you need a quick shareable appetizer.

  • 8 oz Handy Lump Crab Meat, drained
  • 2 cups prepared store-bought queso
  • OLD BAY® Seasoning, optional
  • Fresh cilantro, optional for garnish
  • Tortilla chips, for serving

Drain any excess liquid from the Handy Lump Crab Meat. Measure the queso and crab meat, keeping the crab pieces intact as much as possible. Have tortilla chips ready for serving

Heat the queso in a small saucepan over low to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warm and smooth. Reduce heat to low and gently fold in the 8 oz of Handy Lump Crab Meat. Heat for an additional 2–3 minutes, just until the crab is warmed through.

Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with cilantro or a light sprinkle of OLD BAY® Seasoning, if desired. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.
