"I really like this dip spooned and served inside a hollowed out loaf of bread or with slices of French bread."

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 lb lump crabmeat or 1 lb backfin crab meat
• 2 -4 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 8 ounces mayonnaise

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Allow cream cheese to come to room temperature and soften.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, ¾ cup of the cheddar cheese, and the mozzarella cheese.
4. Add Old Bay seasoning to taste (use at least 2 Tbsp) and mix until all is evenly mixed (hand mixing works best).

Awesome, Awesome Crab Dip Recipe. I can't believe it hasn't been reviewed yet. I've made other crab dip recipes before and they turned out kind of bland (I'm from Maryland. Needless to say I've had some of the best crab dips you could imagine). This recipe has the perfect amount of a Maryland kick. When i make it for my friends for football Sunday, it's almost gone before the night is over.<br/>thanks!
