5 slices bacon, (chopped)
2 to 3 jalapeno peppers, (seeded and finely diced)

1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

Steps:

Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
Cook the diced jalapeno in the bacon grease for a minute or two to soften it. Remove with a slotted spoon and place in a small bowl.
Spray an 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcetershire sauce, Old Bay and paprika until smooth.
Stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese, all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon, and half the green onion.
Gently fold in the crab.
Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle remaining cheddar, bacon, and green onion on top.
Place the jalapeno slices on top.
