Notes
- Crab meat: While I recommend using fresh lump crab meat whenever possible, imitation crab meat can be used in place of the lump crab. The dip will have less crab flavor, but this is a more affordable way to prepare this dip.
- Baking dish: I've made this dip in several different dishes. An 8" x 8" square casserole dish will fit the dip nicely, as will an 8" cast iron skillet.
- Make-Ahead: To make this dish ahead of time, combine all of the ingredients, then transfer to an oven-safe baking dish. Cover and place in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and bake according to the recipe instructions.
