🧾 Ingredients:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1/2 cup sour cream

• 1 cup lump crab meat (drained and picked through for shells)

• 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish

• Tortilla chips, toasted bread, or crackers for serving

🔥 Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Mix the base:
   In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.

3. Add flavor:
   Stir in the Old Bay seasoning, garlic powder, Monterey Jack, and cheddar cheese.

4. Fold in the crab:
   Gently fold in the lump crab meat to avoid breaking it up too much — you want nice chunks.

5. Bake it:
   Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe baking dish (a small cast iron or casserole dish works great). Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until hot and bubbly, and the top is golden.

6. Garnish & serve:
   Top with fresh parsley or green onions if desired. Serve hot with chips, bread, or crackers.

💡 Pro Tip:

For extra cheesy goodness, sprinkle a little more shredded cheese on top before baking. Or, toss in a few dashes of hot sauce for a little kick! 🌶️
