Effortless BLT Cold Bacon Dip (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Mix
01 -
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
02 -
2 tablespoons Ranch powder
03 -
240 ml sour cream or mayo
04 -
225 g softened cream cheese
→ Toppings
05 -
6 pieces thick bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled up
06 -
100 g shredded cheddar
07 -
1 Roma tomato, chopped tiny
08 -
50 g iceberg lettuce, sliced super thin
# Instructions:
01 -
Pop your dip in the fridge until people are ready to dig in. Offer whatever chips, veggies, or some crusty bread you have on hand.
02 -
Sprinkle on the tomato bits first, add a scatter of cheddar shreds, and toss the bacon you saved on last.
03 -
Take the shredded lettuce and pack it along the edge of your dish, right around the dip.
04 -
Spoon your creamy mix into a 23 cm dish, even it out on the bottom, but keep the sides clear.
05 -
Gently mix a couple pieces of the crunchy bacon into the creamed base. Save what's left for on top.
06 -
Stir the softened cream cheese, sour cream or mayo, Ranch powder, and garlic powder all together in a bowl until it's super smooth.
# Notes:
01 -
Chop and prep the toppings right before you build everything so it's nice and crisp.
02 -
You can get the creamy part ready ahead of time—just cover and chill it, then finish assembling when it's time to eat.
03 -
It's awesome with pita chips, crunchy bagels, sliced up fresh veggies, or hunks of hearty bread.
