I have six children and one grandchild, work full-time, and coach soccer and football. So I appreciate recipes like this one that are easy to assemble. The rich, creamy dip is a fun appetizer for holiday gatherings. —Teri Rasey, Cadillac, Michigan

I have not made this yet but was wondering if can be made the day ahead, refrigerated, then reheated (how?) at host's home next

day?

Loved it! The little bit of "heat" from the salsa and green chilies makes it so good!

After reading the other reviews, I cut back to 2 pkg. of cream cheese & added 2 cans of tiny shrimp. I used reduced fat cream cheese and it tasted delicious.

I liked it just as well, if not better, served cold the next day with some chopped celery to give it some crunch!

I made this recipe, using only one (not two) packages of cream cheese, so that the crabmeat flavor would be more pronounced. I received many compliments, and will definitely make it again!
