Easy Crab Dip Recipe

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, using a handheld mixer, beat cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup Pepper Jack cheese, Old Bay Seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire Sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce until smooth.  Stir in crab meat and green onions.
• Spoon the mixture into a baking dish and top with remaining cheddar and Pepper Jack.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the dish is bubbly and heated through.

Notes

• You can make this recipe up to 2 days in advance; do not bake it. Instead, store it well-covered in the fridge. Remove it 30 minutes before baking to bring it to room temperature. Then, bake it fresh for optimal taste and maximum enjoyment.
• I like adding a few dashes of hot sauce or a little cayenne pepper, but if you have a sensitive palate, reduce or skip it altogether.
• Serve warm with crostini, Ritz crackers, celery sticks, carrot sticks, pretzel crisps, cucumber slices, tortilla chips, or bagel chips.
