Chesapeake Bay Crab Dip


Chesapeake Bay Crab Dip


We are lucky to live close to the Chesapeake Bay and there is always fresh lump crab meat in the grocery stores year round.  This dip recipe was passed along to me from a local seafood restaurant and over the years I have added several ingredients.  The Old Bay & the hot sauce are my secret ingredients, making this the best hot crab dip ever!  I make this every year for Christmas and it is always a hit!

Ingredients:
1 pt. sour cream
1 lb. cream cheese
1 cup cheddar cheese
1 lb. lump crab meat
1 T. mustard
1 T. worchestershire
1 T. mayo
1/2 T. old bay
2 t. texas pete hot sauce
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  In large bowl mix all ingredients except crab.  Fold in crab.  Spoon crab mixture into a 9x13 baking dish, top with additional cheddar cheese, bake 30-40 minutes until hot & bubbly.  Serve with pita chips, toast points or tortillas chips!  Best Crab Dip Ever!!!!
