Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Creole seasoning, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce until well-combined.
  • Mix in cheddar cheese, celery, bell pepper, and green onions. Gently fold in crab meat.
  • Transfer the mixture to a cast iron skillet or greased baking dish. Bake until warmed through and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Serve hot with chips, crackers, or toasted bread.

Notes

    • Give your cream cheese time to soften before using it. This will make mixing up the ingredients a breeze!
    • Be sure to fold the lump crab meat into the cream cheese mixture as gentle as you can. Otherwise you risk breaking up this big glorious lumps of juicy crab meat!
    • Leftover crab dip will keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.
