Ingredients

Scale

Crab Dip Ingredients

  • 1 lb lump crab meat
  • 12 oz cream cheese
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese blend
  • ⅓ cup sliced green onions (plus more for topping)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ lemon (juiced)
  • 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce (such as Tabasco, to taste)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 ½ teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Combine all crab dip ingredients directly into the slow cooker, ensuring that the cream cheese is broken up slightly to encourage even melting.
  2. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW heat for 2 to 3 hours. Stir the mixture halfway through cook time to help blend the ingredients and ensure even heating until the cheese is melted and the dip is hot and bubbling.
  3. Final Stir and Serve: Give the dip a final stir just before serving to achieve a smooth consistency. Top with extra sliced green onions for freshness. Serve warm with toasted baguette slices, your favorite crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh lump crab meat for the best texture and flavor.
  • Adjust hot sauce quantity according to your preferred spice level.
  • Stirring halfway during cooking helps prevent the dip from scorching on the edges.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine or a pinch of smoked paprika.
  • This dip can be made a day ahead and reheated gently in the slow cooker on low.
