Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cups Sour cream
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 8 ounces Lump crab meat
- 1 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoons Parsley, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream until smooth and well blended.
Stir in the garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Old Bay seasoning.
Fold in the lump crab meat gently to avoid breaking it up too much.
Add 3/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese into the mixture, reserving the remaining 1/4 for topping.
Mix in the chopped green onions and parsley (if using).
Transfer the crab mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top of the dip.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly, and the cheese on top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
