Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dip.
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and shredded crab meat to form a creamy base.
- Add Flavorings and Cheese: Mix in the chopped green onions, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Mix Well: Stir the mixture until everything is well combined and a smooth, consistent texture is achieved.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Spoon the prepared dip mixture into a baking dish, spreading evenly to ensure uniform baking.

Notes
- The dip can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking; just add 5 extra minutes to baking time if baking cold.
- Substitute crab meat with imitation crab for a budget-friendly option.
- For added crunch, sprinkle some panko breadcrumbs and extra cheese on top before baking.
- Adjust soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce quantities to taste if you prefer less saltiness.
- Leftover dip can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated before serving.
