Quick Bites - Cream Cheese, Crab and Cocktail Sauce

My mom makes this all of the time and it is delicious and so easy to make.  The headline says it all.  Get once package (8 oz.) of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (I use the new product with a 1/3 less fat -- it tastes just as good), 1 lb of jumbo lump crabmeat (if you are on the east coast this is easy to find, but on the west coast you may need to use dungeness crab), 1/2 jar of Heinz Chili sauce with 2-3 tsps of horseradish mixed in) and lemons for garnish.

Spread the cream cheese onto the bottom of a porcelain pie pan or other serving dish that is about 1 inch deep. Place the crab on top of the cream cheese and cover with cocktail sauce and horseradish mixture.  Squeeze 1/2 lemon on top and use the other half as garnish.

Serve with crackers.

Spread the cheese? I remember it was just a brick of cheese with crabmeat and cocktail sauce on it. Your way is much too much trouble. :)

Thank you so much for posting this. I remembered having this at parties years and years ago, but couldn't quite remember how it went. Good grief. It's simple enough. How could I forget! LOL
