Cast Iron Skillet Crab Dip Here’s a recipe I discovered on the Cast Iron Cooking groups Facebook page and the author was kind enough to allow me to share it. This is an elegant dish that makes you want to just reach into your screen and grab that cracker. This is sure to start a fight in any gathering as to who get’s to eat it all so be sure to make enough for your crowd. In addition to a snack I can see this as making a great filling for a pastry dish or even a sandwich. Thanks to Veri Similitude for her kindness in allowing me to share.
