Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Spray the inside of a 1 or 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Add Crab Meat: Stir in the well-drained canned lump crab meat until fully combined.
- Bake: Spread the crab mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbling around the edges.
- Serve: Serve warm with a sliced baguette or tortilla chips.
Notes
- Ensure the crab meat is well-drained to prevent a watery dip.
- For a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.
- You can use fresh crab meat instead of canned, if available.
- For a golden brown top, broil for the last minute of baking.
- This dip can be prepared ahead of time and baked just before serving.
