Maryland Crab Dip Recipes

SPICY MARYLAND CRAB DIP

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 1 quart baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, garlic powder and about 2 tablespoons of the Cheddar cheese. Fold in crabmeat, hot sauce and 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and seafood seasoning. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.

MARYLAND HOT CRAB DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, and garlic salt until smooth.
• Stir in 2 tbsp of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Fold crab meat into the mixture.
• Pour mixture into a 1 quart casserole dish.
• Top with remaining cheese, or more. But not too much because you don't want the cheese to overtake the taste of the crab.
• Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on top of the crab dip sparingly.
• Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is browned.
• Serve with crackers, toasted bread, celery sticks, or parmesan crisps. And of course keep the Old Bay Seasoning handy for extra shakes!

• Mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and seafood seasoning together in a bowl. Gently fold crabmeat into cheese mixture; pour into the prepared loaf pan and top with Cheddar cheese.

• Fold in the crab meat.
• Bake covered for 30 minutes at 350°F
• Stir the dip.
• Sprinkle other cup of shredded cheese over the top and bake uncovered for 5 minutes.
• You can serve it with crackers but I prefer torn pieces of french or bakery style bread.
• You can adjust the seasoning to your taste.
• I usually sprinkle a little Old Bay over the top with the shredded cheese.
• I also use 1/3 less fat cream cheese and lite shredded cheese to make a lighter version.
