Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lump crab meat
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 batch Crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise until smooth and well blended.
Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and hot sauce. Mix until fully incorporated.
Carefully fold in the lump crab meat, trying not to break up the large chunks.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the crab dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, bread, or vegetable sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
