Spicy Crab Dip

For some reason last week, my husband kept begging me to make crab dip.  You'd think he was the one with pregnancy cravings!  I do try to please my husband, so I made him some dip and we devoured it.  The jack cheese adds a bit of kick and makes it really tasty.  This would be a perfect appetizer for a holiday gathering.  It would also be great with artichokes added or even some spinach.  Making dip is so easy, all you need are a few basic ingredients and some creativity.
