Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 oz lump crab meat
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Old Bay seasoning
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp hot sauce (optional)
- 2 tbsp green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- crackers or bread for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Old Bay seasoning, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using), and stir until fully combined.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break up the chunks too much.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish or oven-safe skillet, spreading it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions for a pop of color and extra flavor.
Serve warm with crackers, sliced bread, or veggies. Enjoy!
