How to Make Crab Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (adjust to your spice preference), 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, a few dashes of Tabasco sauce (start with 1/4 teaspoon and add more to taste), and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
  3. Gently fold in 1/4 cup finely minced yellow onion and 1 1/2 cups lump crab meat (fresh or canned, drained).
  4. Pour mixture into an oven-safe dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the edges are lightly browned. If the top is browning too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving with pita chips or crackers.
