Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 lb lump crab meat
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp hot sauce
• 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 tbsp chives, chopped (optional)
• 1 package bread or crackers, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and garlic powder until well incorporated.

Step 4

Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it apart too much. You want to maintain the chunks for texture.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle additional shredded cheddar cheese on top, if desired, for a golden and bubbly topping.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbling around the edges.

Step 8

Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped green onions and chives (if using) for a fresh burst of flavor.

Step 10

Serve warm with bread, crackers, or veggies for dipping.
