Ingredients

• 2 (8 ounce) blocks of Philadelphia cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• 2 tablespoons grated onion
• 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), or to taste, optional
• 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, optional
• 1/3 cup whole milk, more or less
• 2 large cans of crabmeat, well drained, or 1 pound fresh
• Shredded mild white cheese, for garnish, optional
• 1 tablespoon sliced green onions, for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dump the crabmeat into a colander to drain; set aside.

Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese with the onion, salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning and Worcestershire; beat together, adding the milk a little at a time, until well blended. You only need to add just enough milk to get things mixed up well, not to make the dip runny and goopey. Add the crab and mix in gently. Spoon into a buttered casserole dish and bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until bubbly and heated through.

Garnish with a sprinkling of shredded cheese and sliced green onion, if desired, and serve hot in a chafing or warming dish with toast points, toasted sliced bread, Melba toast, crackers or chips on the side. Double for a party.
