Step-by-Step Instructions
Before I dive into the step-by-step process of how I make this delectable dip, I want to emphasize that preparation is key. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s warming up, grab a mixing bowl and combine your softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. I usually use a hand mixer for this because it makes the blending super easy, but you can also do this with a fork if you’d like a little workout! Mix until smooth and creamy, and then it’s time to add the star players of this dip—crab meat and cheese. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
