Scale
Crab Dip Ingredients
- 16 oz lump crabmeat
- 1 lb cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 bunch green onions (chopped)
- 1 tsp red hot sauce
- 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and prepare a small baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the dip from sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer on low speed to beat together the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, red hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic salt, and Cajun seasoning until smooth and well combined. Then add in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped green onions, stirring gently to incorporate.
- Fold in Crab Meat: Carefully fold the lump crabmeat into the mixture using a rubber spatula to avoid breaking up the crab chunks, ensuring an even distribution throughout the dip.
- Fill Baking Dish: Spread the crab dip mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top for an even bake.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and lightly golden on top, indicating it’s heated through and ready to serve.
Notes
- Use lump crabmeat for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the hot sauce and Cajun seasoning to taste depending on spice preference.
- Serve with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
- Leftover dip can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mixture.
