Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb crabmeat, picked over to remove bits of shell
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
4 scallions, finely chopped (white and light green parts)
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon hot sauce, to taste
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
tortilla chips or cracker, for dipping

Steps:

Preheat oven to 325°.
In a bowl, stir together the crabmeat, Cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped scallions, garlic, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and mustard powder.
Scrape the mixture into a wide baking dish; one that is pretty enough for serving.
Bake until the dip is golden and bubbling, 45-55 minutes.
Chop the dark green scallion tops and sprinkle over the dip to add a little color.
Serve hot with a bowl of tortilla chips or crackers to use as dippers.
