Categories     Appetizer

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounce package cream cheese or Neufchatel (light cream cheese) (softened)
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup light or regular sour cream
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon grated white onion
12 ounces lump crab meat (from 2 6-ounce cans)
1 teaspoon all-purpose seasoning salt (I use Lawry's Seasoned Salt)
½ teaspoon Worcestershire
½ lemon (juiced)
2 tablespoons finely chopped Italian parsley
a few shakes of Tabasco (to taste)
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
crackers (baguette slices, or tortilla chips for serving)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a medium mixing bowl and stir until creamy. Add remaining ingredients and stir again until well combined. Transfer to a small baking dish and transfer to oven.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until browned and bubbly.
  • Serve with crackers, baguette slices, or tortilla chips.
  • Add the ingredients to a small (3- to 4-quart) slow cooker, stir to combine, and set it on LOW for 2 hours. It needs to cook until the cream cheese melts completely. Stir the dip and then let it cook for an additional 15 to 20 minutes.
  • It should keep well for up to an hour on the KEEP WARM or LOW setting. Be sure to stir it occasionally to prevent it from burning or separating.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh crab meat. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before using.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese. Philadelphia or another brand name cream cheese will give you the best results.
  • Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese contains additives that can make your dip grainy.
  • Don't overcook the dip. It should be heated through, but not bubbly.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers. Crackers, bread, and vegetables are all great options.

Conclusion:

This hot crab dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's sure to be a hit with your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give this hot crab dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
