2 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked. (the fancy lump crabmeat, or fresh crabmeat)
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Old Bay seasoning to taste
salt and pepper to taste
a handful of grated cheddar cheese
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, onion, mayonnaise, garlic powder, salt and pepper and mix well. Gently fold in the crab meat. Generally season the mixture with Old Bay Seasoning to your taste. I add a lot until it's slightly pink in color. Spread mixture into a 1 quart baking dish and sprinkle with a handful of grated cheddar.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven until bubbly. Sprinkle more Old Bay on the top and serve.
1 pound lump or backfin crab meat
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons minced onion
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons minced greed pepper
1 well beaten egg
salt and pepper to taste
old bay to taste
Beat egg. Add lemon juice and minced vegetables.
Add cheese, reserving about 1/4 cup.
Add crab meat (fold in gently).
Add mayonnaise one tablespoon at a time until dip
holds together. (You don't want to over mix. You want
to keep the pieces of crab meat intact).
Add Old Bay, salt and pepper, stir gently,
Put in casserole dish, sprinkle remaining cheese on
top.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Serve hot.
