MARYLAND HOT CRAB DIP RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, and garlic salt until smooth.

• Fold crab meat into the mixture.
• Pour mixture into a 1 quart casserole dish.
• Top with remaining cheese, or more. But not too much because you don't want the cheese to overtake the taste of the crab.
• Sprinkle Old Bay Seasoning on top of the crab dip sparingly.
• Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is browned.
• Serve with crackers, toasted bread, celery sticks, or parmesan crisps. And of course keep the Old Bay Seasoning handy for extra shakes!
