Mix the dip base

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Old Bay seasoning and mix until smooth and well blended.

Fold in crab

Gently fold in the drained crab meat being careful not to break up the pieces too much so the texture remains chunky and satisfying.

3

Microwave

Microwave on medium-high power for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every 90 seconds until the mixture is hot and bubbling around the edges.
