Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay is known for crabs, and they’re a big favorite of ours. When fresh crabmeat is available, we’ll use it in this dip, but canned works just as well. This appetizer is nice for any holiday or gathering.

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon sherry, optional
2 cans (6 ounces each) lump crabmeat, drained
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
Assorted crackers or baked pita chips

Directions

In a large heavy saucepan, heat the cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and sherry if desired over low heat, stirring often. Stir in crab and onion; heat through. Serve warm with crackers.

This was good but a little bland....My husband and I added some Hot sauce and shreaded parmesean cheese. This gave it just the right flavoring.

nice taste, but we added a tsp of Old Bay, and a 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan to give it a little more flavor, it was great
