Instructions
Prepare your smoker and preheat to 250°F.
In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese until smooth with an electric hand mixer.
Add the sour cream and mayonnaise, mix until smooth.
Add 1 cup of the cheese, garlic, old bay, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, chives, and optional hot sauce, mix until smooth.
Add the crab meat and fold it in gently, trying not to break up the crab.
Spread the mixture into an 8 to 9-inch baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Top with the remaining cheese.
Smoke for 1 ½ to 2 hours until bubbly, the cheese is melted, and it is slightly golden on top.
Serve immediately with a garnish of more chives with your favorite dippers!
Notes
Nutritional value does not include any dippers.
If you do not have a smoker this can be baked, see my tips above.
You can use imitation crab as long as it is chopped or even small shrimp.
We like to use a toasted baguette for dipping but any bread, crackers, etc can be used.
If you can't find chives, scallions can be used in its place.
This can be frozen, see my tips above.
