Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 1-quart baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mash together cream cheese, salsa, mayonnaise, and Worcestershire sauce with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until combined and no chunks of cream cheese remain. Fold in crabmeat and season to taste with hot sauce.
- Place dip in prepared baking dish and top with breadcrumbs. Bake, uncovered, 40-50 minutes, until hot and bubbly. (Check breadcrumbs after about 30 minutes. If they are starting to get too brown, cover the dip with a piece of foil until the last 5 minutes of baking.)
- Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve hot with warmed, lightly-salted tortilla chips.
Notes
- *The amount of hot sauce will vary based on your own personal tastes, and the heat levels of both your salsa and hot pepper sauce. I use mild salsa and anywhere from 2-4 dashes of hot sauce in a full recipe. I usually buy the "garlic" version of hot pepper sauce, which I find to be a little less assertive and more roundly-flavored.
- This dip can be prepared the night before and stored in the refrigerator, unbaked and covered, until needed. When ready to serve, top with breadcrumbs and bake as directed.
