Ingredients

8 slices bacon
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)

2/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise

3/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 cup romaine lettuce (chopped)
1 cup tomatoes (diced)

1/4 cup green onions (thinly sliced)
Crackers or toasted bread (for serving)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain, then crumble into small pieces.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, seasoned salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Stir in about two-thirds of the crumbled bacon into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 4: Spread the mixture evenly in a shallow serving dish.

Step 5: Top the dip with chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, and green onions. Sprinkle the remaining bacon pieces over the top.
Step 6: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Tips & Variations

Try substituting the romaine with crisp iceberg lettuce for extra crunch.

For a smoky twist, use smoked paprika in place of seasoned salt.
Swap regular bacon for turkey bacon to lighten the dish.
Serve with crunchy vegetables like celery or carrot sticks as an alternative to crackers.

Storage

Store any leftover BLT Dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before serving again, give it a gentle stir and consider letting it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid freezing as the fresh toppings may become watery when thawed.

FAQs

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dip base and bacon a day ahead and mix just before serving. Add the fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and green onions right before serving to keep them crisp.

What can I use if I don’t have seasoned salt?

You can make a simple substitute by combining 1/2 teaspoon salt with 1/4 teaspoon paprika and a pinch of black pepper. This mix will add similar flavor complexity to the dip.
