Elaines Hot Maryland Crab Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a glass loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, and seafood seasoning together in a bowl. Gently fold crabmeat into cheese mixture; pour into the prepared loaf pan and top with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until dip is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Toast baguette slices on oven rack during the last 5 minutes of baking the dip.

Steps:

• 1. Measure the cream cheese, sour cream, mayo, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, and garlic powder directly into a large mixing bowl. Using a mixer, beat all ingredients together until well-blended.
• 2. In a separate bowl, pick through the crab meat, looking for and removing any shell pieces.
• 3. Add the crab to the mixing bowl, along with the shredded white cheddar cheese. Fold GENTLY to incorporate the crab & cheese with the other ingredients. (If you're using lump crab meat, you'll want to keep the lumps!)
• 4. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. GENTLY pour the mixed ingredients into the baking dish. Now, if you like Old Bay seasoning, sprinkle it over the top. (If you REALLY like Old Bay, you might even stir some in first.) If you're not an Old Bay fan, you can sprinkle on some paprika, if you want. Just for "pretty."
• 5. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes, until the dip is melted and bubbly.
• 6. Serve hot with savory crackers, flatbread pieces, or toasted bread points.
• 7. ESPECIALLY YUMMY OPTION: Maryland Crab Pretzel Spoon crab dip over a large soft pretzel, then top with shredded cheese. Bake until cheese melts. Pull apart to eat. =^..^=

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Cheddar cheese, crabmeat, lemon juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Transfer to a shallow 9x13 inch baking dish. Garnish with paprika.
• Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Steps:

• Soften cream cheese and mix with 1 cup of shredded cheese.
• Mix all of the ingredients in with the cheese mixture.
• Fold in the crab meat.
• Bake covered for 30 minutes at 350°F
• Stir the dip.
• Sprinkle other cup of shredded cheese over the top and bake uncovered for 5 minutes.
• You can serve it with crackers but I prefer torn pieces of french or bakery style bread.
• You can adjust the seasoning to your taste.
• I usually sprinkle a little Old Bay over the top with the shredded cheese.
• I also use 1/3 less fat cream cheese and lite shredded cheese to make a lighter version.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a 1 quart baking dish.
• In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dry mustard, garlic powder and about 2 tablespoons of the Cheddar cheese. Fold in crabmeat, hot sauce and 2 tablespoons seafood seasoning.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and seafood seasoning. Bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until bubbly and lightly browned.
