One batch of this slow-cooker appetizer isn't enough for my family so I often double the recipe. Bits of sweet onion give the creamy dip a bit of crunch.—Terri Perrier, Simonton, Texas

Great recipe. I suggest adding at least two cans of crab or even more.

We had friends over for appetizers last night and I tried this recipe out on them. They loved it. It was easy and I had all of the ingredients on hand. Guests thought I had worked hard on this. I had to 'fess up and tell them how easy it was. I did use Vadalia onion and onion taste was not overpowering. Regular onion might change the flavor slightly.

This is one of the best hot crab dips I have made, and it is super easy. I doubled the recipe since we were expecting 30 people at our party, and our guests devoured all of it. Baked pita chips go well with it.
