Hot and Creamy Crab Dip
What you need:
-
1/2 kilogram jumbo lump crab, shell removed
-
1 clove garlic, minced
-
1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
-
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
-
1 cup cream cheese, softened
-

-
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon hot sauce
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Using a hand mixer, beat together cream cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream in a bowl.

Transfer mixture to a baking dish and cook in a pre-heated oven (325F) until bubbling and golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with fresh vegetable slices, crackers or chips.
