Notes
Crab: You can use canned, but but fresh lump crab meat will taste the best.
Storage: Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days.
Make-ahead: Make the dip without baking up to 1 day in advance. Bake right before serving.
Crockpot: Simply add the uncooked dip to a crockpot and cook on LOW 1 to 2 hours, or until hot. You can then add cheese and allow to melt or broil a couple minutes.
