LINDA'S DELICIOUS HOT CRAB DIP
One of my mother-in-law's friends brought this delicious dip to a party and I had to have the recipe. Please only use full fat ingredients in this and real crabmeat. If you are lucky enough to have some fresh cooked crab meat, then you may certainly use that in place of canned-just don't use the "fake crab" as a substitute as it just won't taste the same. The size of the can is the same as a regular tuna fish can-I will update the exact size next time I make this. Note:The leftover dip is also great as a sandwich spread on a lightly toasted bagel with lettuce & tomato.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Drain off any crab juices and flake the crab meat in a bowl-the crab meat should be broken up into fine pieces.
- Add sour cream,mayo, and cheese to the crab and mix together well.
- Pour into an ovenproof round deep baking dish (approx 1 quart size), lid off, and bake until bubbly and very lightly browned on top, approximately 30 minutes.
- Serve warm with potato chips.
Tips:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. Fresh crab meat can be found at most seafood markets or online. If you're using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat cooks very quickly, so it's important to watch it carefully to avoid overcooking. Overcooked crab meat will be tough and chewy.
- Use a variety of cheeses in your crab dip. A combination of cheeses will give your dip a richer, more complex flavor. Some good cheeses to use include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
- Add some spices and herbs to your crab dip for extra flavor. Some good spices and herbs to use include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and parsley.
- Serve your crab dip with a variety of dippers. Some good dippers for crab dip include crackers, bread, vegetables, and chips.
