To prepare, take the cream cheese packages out of the refrigerator 2-3 hours before making to allow it to come to room temperature.

Prepare the crab meat by draining the canned crab in a fine mesh strainer. Run cold water over the crab meat to remove any fishy flavor. Drain well by pressing down with a spoon until the crab meat is mostly dry and flakes easily.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, finely chopped green onion, mayonnaise, crab meat, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Spread the mixture into an oven safe 1 quart baking dish.
