Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, I combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. I find that using an electric mixer helps to create a smooth and creamy base, which really makes a difference in texture. Once that’s creamy and well-combined, I gently fold in the crab meat, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, and lemon juice. The wonderful smell already fills my kitchen and gets me excited! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
