Ingredients

  • 8 ounces crab meat
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions divided use
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey jack cheese divided use
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • cooking spray

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a small baking dish or oven proof skillet with cooking spray.
  2. Place the crab, cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, 1/4 cup green onions and 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl. Stir to combine.
  3. Spread the crab mixture evenly into the prepared dish. Top with the remaining cup of cheese.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes or until dip is bubbly and cheese is melted. Broil for 1-2 minutes until cheese has started to brown.
  5. Top with remaining 1/4 cup green onions and tomatoes, then serve immediately.

Notes

  • Splurge a little and use real crab here. I used lumps of frozen crab meat, but you can also buy refrigerated lump crab meat in the refrigerated area of the seafood counter or canned crab meat. In a pinch you can use imitation crab meat, but it won't have the same flavor.
  • You can make this dip in an oven safe skillet or in a baking dish, whichever you prefer.
