Ingredients
Scale
- 11 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 5 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 (6 ounces) cans crabmeat (drained, and flaked)
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 (1 pound) loaf, crusty Italian bread
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, chopped onion, mayonnaise, crab meat, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Spread the mixture into a 1-quart baking dish. Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut a circle in the top of the bread and scoop out the inside to create a bread bowl. Tear the removed bread into pieces for dipping.
