Crab Dip Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh lump crab meat
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
  2. Mix Cream Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded sharp cheddar cheese, stirring until smooth and well blended.
  3. Fold in Crab and Seasonings: Gently fold in the lump crab meat, chopped green onions, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder to combine all flavors evenly without breaking up the crab.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the crab mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  5. Bake the Dip: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbly throughout.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the dip cool slightly before serving to allow it to set a bit. Serve with crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh lump crab meat for the best texture and flavor.
  • The dip can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated, then baked just before serving.
  • If you prefer a spicier dip, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapeño.
  • Serve immediately after baking to enjoy its warm, creamy texture.
  • Leftover dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
