Combine in a glass bowl or large measuring cup. Microwave on high for one minute. Stir and microwave another minute. Stir until smooth.

¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp garlic powder

¼ – ½ tsp cayenne pepper

 

Add spices and mix well. Start with ¼ tsp cayenne and add more if you like it spicy.

2 (5 ounce) cans lump crabmeat

Drain, rinse, and squeeze out water. Press lightly with your fingers to check for and remove any cartilage. Fold into the cheese dip.
