Lucky, that recipe is so similar to mine, it's amazing. There are differences though. I think I'll try yours, and perhaps you'd like to try mine.

Connie's Crab Dib

8 oz cream cheesed, softened
2 eggs
1/2 onion, finely diced

Mix all together except paprika. Put in lightly buttered 9x13 pan. Dust with paprika and bake 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees till lightly browned.
Do not over-bake, or it will be dry.

Serve with cocktail crackers of your choice.

*Note: fresh crabmeat would be the best choice for this dip, but we don't get that here.

Both Connie and Lucky Trim have Crabmeat Dips. I will keep the receipes so I have them for future times when I am invited over to one of my friend's house to dinner.
