BAKED HOT CRAB DIP
The quality of the crab meat makes all the difference for the flavor. Some canned crab is really mushy, while others have big chunks of crab. If you're using canned crab that's watery, you should consider adding double the crab for more flavor. Even if you have a good crab meat that isn't watery, but love a prominent crab taste, add as much crab to the recipe as you'd like.

BAKED CRAB DIP
We enjoyed this exquisite crab dip at my grandson's wedding reception. It looks fancy but is easy to make. You can even fill the bread bowl early in the day and chill it until serving. Just remove it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. -Marie Shelley, Exeter, Missouri

BAKED CRAB DIP WITH OLD BAY AND RITZ CRACKERS
This crab dip is inspired by a recipe called "ritzy dip" from the "Three Rivers Cookbook," a Pittsburgh community cookbook published in 1973, in which canned crab is mixed with cream cheese, topped with Ritz crackers and baked. Fresh lump crab meat is the star in this updated version, with lemon juice, scallions and plenty of Old Bay seasoning to spice things up. This recipe doubles easily for larger groups, and the whole thing can be assembled and refrigerated up to a day in advance before being baked.

Tips:
- Choose fresh crab meat: Fresh crab meat will give your dip the best flavor. If you can't find fresh crab meat, you can use frozen crab meat, but make sure to thaw it completely before using it.
- Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the base of the dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
- Don't overcook the dip: The dip is done when it is heated through and bubbly. Overcooking the dip will make it tough and rubbery.
- Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: The dip can be served with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, chips, vegetables, or bread.
