Ingredients
  

Dip Base
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Soften at room temperature before use for easy mixing.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a tangier flavor or low-fat version.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream May replace with additional mayonnaise or yogurt if desired.
Flavor Enhancers
  • 2 cloves Garlic Use minced or powdered garlic according to preference.
  • 2 stalks Green Onions Chives can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning If unavailable, use a mix of celery salt and paprika.
  • 1 tsp Salt Adjust according to your taste preference.
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce A teaspoon of soy sauce can be used in its place for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Fresh juice is recommended; bottled juice lacks flavor.
Cheesy Goodness
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Use sharp cheddar for a more pronounced flavor.
For the Crab
  • 1 lb Jumbo Lump Crab Meat For best results, use fresh; canned crab meat can be substituted if well-drained.
For a Kick
