1. Make Ahead & Freezing Instructions: You can fully assemble this crab dip, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 2 days before baking, slow cooking, and serving. You can also freeze the unbaked or baked (and cooled) crab dip for up to 3 months. Thaw then bake as directed or, if already baked, thaw and heat in a 350°F (177°C) for 25 minutes or until warmed throughout.
2. Slow Cooker: Follow steps 2 and 3. Instead of transferring to a baking dish, spoon into your slow cooker (do not add the 2/3 cup of cheese on top) and cook on low for 3-4 hours until hot and creamy. Stir occasionally as it cooks. During the last 30 minutes, sprinkle 2/3 cup reserved cheddar cheese on top.
