Hot Maryland Crab Dip

As I mentioned, my Hot Crab Dip Recipe is an absolute crowd pleaser and my most popular recipe by far!

The ingredients in this delicious, easy crab dip recipe are:

  • Cream Cheese
  • Sour Cream
  • Mayonnaise
  • Lemon Juice
  • Worcestershire Sauce
  • Dry Mustard
  • Cheddar Cheese
  • Garlic Salt
  • Old Bay Seasoning
  • Maryland Crab Meat – Preferably fresh crab meat (jumbo lump crab meat is best) but you can substitute imitation crab meat.

Clearly, you really don’t want your ‘dippers’ to have a ton of crazy flavors that will mask the taste of your warm crab dip.

You’ll find from my list that most of the dippers are simple, crispy vessels to transport the delectable, creamy dip from the serving dish to your mouth!

In addition, I’ve included a couple surprising answers from my fellow Marylanders as to how to eat your crab meat dip.

The following list of what to serve with your creamy crab dip is in no particular order.

12. Spoon

Yup!

A couple people in the Maryland Crab Facebook group answered that they just use a spoon to eat crab dip.

13. Fingers

This answer is pretty self-explanatory.

Needless to say, I highly recommend that IF you use your fingers to eat your crab dip, spoon out your serving onto your own plate first!

Obviously, it’s much more sanitary that way!

Additionally, if you prefer to eat low carb, I’ve got your covered!

With the hot crab dip already being a low carb recipe, it’s just a matter of knowing what to serve with crab dip that’s also low in carbs.

14. Bell Peppers

Just cut your bell peppers up into strips and dip away!

15. Carrot Sticks

Carrot sticks are SO good dipped in crab dip!

16. Celery Sticks

Celery sticks have that perfect ‘tunnel’ inside to scoop a nice sizeable bite of crab dip!
