Place 2 pounds of crab meat into a casserole dish.

Add about two-thirds of the mayonnaise mixture to the crab meat and mix gently with your hands to avoid breaking up the crab.

Top the crab mixture with the remaining mayonnaise mixture.

Sprinkle with Old Bay or paprika on top.

Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F for about 25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
