Gently fold in the lump crab meat, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, hot sauce (if using), and lemon juice.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even mixing.
After 2 hours, check the consistency and flavors. Adjust seasoning with more Old Bay or garlic powder if needed.
