Ingredients

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll need to create this delicious dip. You’ll find most of these ingredients are pantry staples, making it a breeze to whip up at the last minute.

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
8 oz canned crab meat, drained and flaked
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can substitute the canned crab with fresh lump crab meat for a more luxurious taste. And for a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce!

Instructions

Let’s dive into the cooking process! Each step is designed to be simple, so you can enjoy the journey from ingredients to a delightful dish.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Gently fold in the crab meat, chopped green onions, and lemon juice. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much, as chunky pieces are ideal.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top of the dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. I find that peeking through the oven window with anticipation adds to the excitement!
Once baked, allow the dip to cool for a few minutes before serving. This gives the flavors a chance to meld together beautifully.
