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 freshest crab meat, buy live crabs and steam them yourself. Pick the meat from the shells once they are cooked.
  • If you are using frozen crab meat, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Be sure to drain the crab meat well before using it in the recipe. This will help to prevent the crab cakes from becoming too watery.
  • For a crispy coating, bread the crab cakes in panko breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
  • Serve the crab cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
