This dip is the combination of the best ingredients that are typically used in a hot dip. The cream cheese and mayo give this dip the creaminess we all love in a dip. And with the crab meat and horseradish flavor, it becomes the perfect combination for a hot dip. Add the onion and shredded cheese for the icing on the cake.

The dip actually goes in the oven for about 15 minutes before adding the cheese. It’s important to cook the dip first and then add the cheese for and added bonus.
