Crab Dip Ingredients
- 1 lb lump crab meat
- 12 oz cream cheese
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese blend
- ⅓ cup sliced green onions (plus more for topping)
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce (Tabasco, to taste)
- 1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 ½ teaspoons Old Bay seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried mustard powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Add all of the crab dip ingredients straight into the slow cooker, ensuring they are well combined but not overly mixed to maintain lump crab texture.
- Cook on low: Cover and cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, stirring halfway through to help the cheese melt evenly and blend flavors. Cook until the dip is hot, bubbling, and fully melted.
- Final stir and serve: Stir again just before serving to ensure everything is evenly distributed. Top with extra sliced green onions for freshness and serve warm with toasted baguette slices, your favorite crackers, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
Notes
- Use lump crab meat for best texture and flavor.
- If you prefer a spicier dip, increase the hot sauce gradually.
- If your slow cooker runs hot, check the dip periodically to avoid burning.
- The dip can be made a few hours ahead and kept warm on the slow cooker’s warm setting.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
