1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a skillet or saucepan, melt butter. Saute onions and peppers over medium heat until tender; stir in the crushed crackers; remove from heat.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, worcestershire, hot sauce, and dry seasonings.
4. Stir in the sauteed onion/pepper/cracker mixture.
5. Gently fold in the crabmeat -- careful not to break up the lumps too much.
