Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb lump crab meat
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and chopped parsley. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Spread the crab mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Sprinkle the buttered breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
