This amazing Baked Crab and Artichoke Dip Recipe will blow everyone away! It’s so cheesy and creamy and full of tremendous flavor, and yet only 4 Points for each heaping 1/2 cup serving.

I was truly amazed at how tasty this low-calorie appetizer recipe turned out, and how much it made. It’s the perfect dish to bring to a potluck, serve up for your game day food table, or just indulge in during those at-home movie nights.

By using artichoke, spinach, and crab as the main ingredients, I was able to save the fat and calories for the good stuff — the cheese! This way, I didn’t have to skimp on the cheese and created a very tasty crab dip recipe that is actually pretty good for you. Lots of fiber and protein!

And it’s so good, no one will have any idea that this is a Weight Watchers Dip Recipe. Enjoy!

Equipment

1 Oven

Ingredients

12-14 oz frozen artichoke hearts - thawed and chopped, 1 bag
1 cup frozen spinach - thawed and drained
6 oz lump crab meat - drained, 1 can
4 garlic cloves - minced
1 small onion - finely chopped
1 cup fat free chicken broth
1 tbsp light butter
4 oz light cream cheese - cut into small pieces or cubes
1 cup Asiago cheese - shredded
½ cup 2% milk
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Add in onions and garlic and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Slowly stir in broth and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and cook until thickens.
Now stir in the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of the Asiago cheese, and stir until all cheese has melted.
In a large bowl, add the artichoke hearts, spinach, and crab. Stir in the cheese sauce and mix well to combine.
Add in salt, pepper, and paprika. Add more to taste, if desired.
Pour into an oven-safe baking dish ( I used an 8”x8” size), and sprinkle the remaining half cup of Asiago cheese over the top.
Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese has all melted and the dip has cooked through.
