Instructions
Cut the Velveeta cheese and cream cheese into 1-inch cubes for faster melting.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the Velveeta cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Add the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (including the juices), Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the dip for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the flavors meld together and the dip is hot.
Taste the dip and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish or a slow cooker set to warm if keeping it out during a party.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot with tortilla chips, crackers, or baguette slices for dipping.
