oz

½
teaspoon
salt
Dip
Original RoTel
10 oz
2
Pound(s)
32 oz Velveeta Cheese
Prepared Crab
Tortilla Chips
Instructions
Prepare the Crab
If you use a can of crab meat, you only need to drain off the excess liquid and add some salt and/or pepper for taste.
If, you use fresh crabs, you will need to boil them and remove enough meat for 1 1/2 cups packed.
Prepare the Dip:
Cube Velveeta into large microwavable bowl.
Add RoTel
Microwave on high, stirring every 30-60 seconds until all the cheese is melted. Be very careful that you don't burn it.
Add in the prepared crab, stir well.
Serve with Tortilla chips.
Notes
I like to liquefy the RoTel in my food processor before adding it to the Velveeta, but it isn't necessary.
