Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs imitation crab sticks thawed in the refrigerator
  • 1 cup unsalted butter cut into chunks
  • 8 oz cream cheese cut into cubes, slightly softened

Instructions
 

  • Place thawed imitation crab sticks in an even layer in the bottom of a slow cooker.
  • Scatter butter chunks evenly over the crab, followed by cream cheese cubes.
  • Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, until butter and cream cheese are fully melted and heated through.
  • Use two forks to shred the softened crab sticks directly in the slow cooker.
  • Stir thoroughly until the crab is fully incorporated into the creamy butter mixture.
  • Taste and season lightly with salt and black pepper if desired. Switch to warm setting and stir occasionally before serving.
