CHEESE DIP WITH CRAWFISH

Steps:

CRAWFISH DIP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large sauté pan or skillet over medium. Add bell pepper, onion, celery, garlic, jalapeño, salt, and black pepper, and cook 6 minutes. Add paprika and cayenne pepper, and cook 1 more minute.
• Place crawfish, cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, and cream in a 6-quart slow cooker. Stir in bell pepper mixture, Creole mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Cover and cook on HIGH 45 minutes. Reduce heat to WARM. Stir in lemon juice and parsley; serve with crackers or toasted baguette slices.

COLD CRAWFISH DIP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the green onions, and cook until wilted. Add the crawfish tails, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese and mayonnaise until well blended. I like to use an electric mixer. Season with hot pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is pink in color. When the crawfish have cooled slightly, stir them and the butter into the dip along with the rest of the green onion. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight to properly blend the flavors.

QUESO DIP WITH CRAWFISH (SPICY)

Steps:

• ~Iused my crockpot for this~.
• Cube the cheese to make melting easier.
• Cut the end off each pepper and push the seeds out with the flat portion of a knife then dice finely.
• If crawfish meat portions are too large, cut into smaller pieces.
• Put all ingredients into crockpot including the adobe sauce from your peppers, stir frequently to allow all to melt and blend.
• I served with multi colored tortilla chips.
• The chipotle pepper is very spicy so you may want to omit the chili powder or cut back on the number of peppers if you do not like it spicy.
• *Thestore brand of Velveta works very well and the crawfish amount is just over a cup and I am sure you can use fresh as well.
• This is also easy to make in the microwave but making it in a crockpot you can serve it in it as well keeping the dip warm.
