Best Maryland Style Hot Crab Dip Recipes

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!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C).
• In a large mixing bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute.
• Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, 1 cup cheddar cheese, ground mustard, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce (if using). Beat on medium-high speed until combined. Using a spoon or rubber spatula, gently fold in the lump crab meat. If you used hot sauce, taste, then add more hot sauce if desired.
• Transfer to a 9-inch (or slightly larger) baking pan, pie dish, or oven-safe skillet. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until hot and bubbly around the edges.
• Serve warm.
• Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a 350°F (177°C) until warmed throughout.

• 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.
