Kramer's crab ball appetizer
Serves 8
2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄2 teaspoon onion power
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 heaping cup crab or imitation crab meat, in small chunks
1 bottle of your favorite cocktail sauce, chilled
Using an electric mixer, mix cream cheese. Add garlic and onion powders and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well. Slowly stir in crab meat. Don’t over-mix—crab should stay chunky. Scrape bowl and form a solid ball. Cover and refrigerate for 3 or more hours (overnight is best). Just before serving, frost with a thick layer of cocktail sauce. Serve with assorted crackers.
