Crab Pizza
(from cokerlj’s recipe box)
Not a real pizza…but sure looks like one!
This is a very impressive appetizer, always receives comments and compliments. Be sure to arrange on a nice platter for even more oohhs’ and ahhhs!
I serve with nice gourmet style wheat crackers.
You make this in 4 different layers, see ingredient list for layers.

Ingredients
- LAYER 1:
- 12 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 very small onion (1/2 onion) grated
- 2 tablespoons real mayonnaise
- dash garlic salt
- -
- LAYER 2:
- 1 jar chili sauce or cocktail sauce (Heinz makes a good "chili" sauce
- -
- LAYER 3:
- 8 ounces crab meat
- -
- LAYER 4:
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
Directions
-
LAYER 1: Combine ingredients, spread on a large 14-16 inch round flat platter. (original recipe calls to spread on a pizza pan, unless it is a stainless pizza pan the metal will discolor not only the pan but the cream cheese)
-
LAYER 2: Spread chili sauce or cocktail sauce over base, I make my own using ketchup, prepared horseradish and lemon juice. (recipe in this book)
-
LAYER 3: Crumble crab meat over sauce. Frozen or fresh is much better than canned. (I use the “fake” crab meat from the meat section.)
-
LAYER 4: Sprinkle generously with chopped dried parsley. (I always use fresh parsley.)
-
Cover with plastic wrap and chill 24 hours.
-
Serve with gourmet crackers and use a butter knife to spread on cracker.
