Crab and Corn Queso Dip

Crab and corn queso dip is a rich and tasty dip for every summer party. Canned real crab meat paired with charred corn and lots of cheese will appeal to any crowd. You can whip together some crab and corn queso dip in no time!

This happens to me every year around this time. I do my blogger duty and remember to post a Mexican recipe like these margaritas right before Cinco de Mayo. Some years, like when Jack and Andy were teensy babies, I couldn’t even remember to do that much.

Bad food blogger.

Cinco de Mayo comes and goes and now the weather starts to heat up in Illinois and all I want is beers with limes in them and all the Mexican food. Anybody else feel the same way?

I know some of you that follow me on Instagram are probably thinking, “Stef, you make so much Mexican food all the time anyway, who are you kidding?”

But for real, I feel like I should know about this trend and plan accordingly for the future. So that by the time I get my Mexcian food loving butt in gear, you aren’t sick of all the queso dips, bean dips, and taco recipes.

Hopefully you aren’t sick of them after last week.

I guess this is basically just my way of prepping you for a month filled with more Mexican food recipes. Cool?

Let’s talk crab then.

I wanted to get good quality crab, not imitation. I know, who am I? High roller. Or as Mike calls me, Miss Champagne taste with a Miller High Life income. Well, my local grocery store didn’t have any fresh crab. I headed to the canned section.

I was able to find some real canned crab. Yay! And it didn’t break the bank. I think like $5 for a can. That wasn’t as bad as i thought it was going to be.

I paired the crab with the corn and then buried it in a flood of queso dip.

Crab and corn queso is what you would have taken to your Cinco de Mayo party, if I could have gotten my act together. But since corn is in season, we have good quality canned real crab meat, and queso never goes out of style, we can enjoy it all summer long!
