Steps:
- 1. Measure the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, and garlic powder directly into a large mixing bowl. Using a mixer, beat all ingredients together until well-blended.
- 2. In a separate bowl, pick through the crab meat, looking for and removing any shell pieces.
- 3. Add the crab to the mixing bowl, along with the shredded white cheddar cheese. Fold GENTLY to incorporate the crab & cheese with the other ingredients. (If you're using lump crab meat, you'll want to keep the lumps!)
- 4. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. GENTLY pour the mixed ingredients into the baking dish. Now, if you like Old Bay seasoning, sprinkle it over the top. (If you REALLY like Old Bay, you might even stir some in first.) If you're not an Old Bay fan, you can sprinkle on some paprika, if you want. Just for "pretty."
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, until the dip is melted and bubbly.
- 6. Serve hot with savory crackers, flatbread pieces, or toasted bread points.
- 7. ESPECIALLY YUMMY OPTION: Maryland Crab Pretzel Spoon crab dip over a large soft pretzel, then top with shredded cheese. Bake until cheese melts. Pull apart to eat. =^..^=

When I was employed in the banking profession, at Christmas while decorating the offices, staff members would bring in an item for potluck. This recipe was one that I particularly liked as it was a warm dip (as opposed to chilled dips)and really tickled the tastebuds served on crackers.

Tips:
- Use fresh crabmeat. Fresh crabmeat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen crabmeat. If you can't find fresh crabmeat, use the best quality canned or frozen crabmeat you can find.
- Don't overmix the dip. Overmixing the dip will make it tough and rubbery. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Chill the dip before serving. Chilling the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving will help it to set and develop its flavor.
- Serve the dip with your favorite crackers, vegetables, or bread. Crabmeat dip is a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack.
