2 teaspoons olive oil
1 small red bell pepper (finely chopped)
1 small yellow onion (finely chopped)
2 garlic cloves (minced)
16 ounces lump crab meat (drained, if canned)
8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)

We enjoyed this exquisite crab dip at my grandson's wedding reception. It looks fancy but is easy to make. You can even fill the bread bowl early in the day and chill it until serving. Just remove it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. -Marie Shelley, Exeter, Missouri
