The Ultimate BLT Dip Recipe

The holiday season is my favorite time of year – not only for the celebrations and the gatherings of family and friends, but for the food. I have spent years gathering favorite recipes from my Grandma, my mom, my Aunts, and friends that have crossed my path. One of my biggest challenges is adding new recipes to my holiday menu because I tend to get stuck making the same old faithful recipes over and over again, year after year.

This year, we’re reimagining our holiday meals with some new flavors and fresh ideas, thanks to Hatfield. And I’m starting with a fabulous dip that is already a huge hit with my family! Everyone loves BLTs (they’re one of our favorite dinners to throw together when we don’t have a lot of time to cook!) so I knew that making a BLT-inspired dip would be popular. Boy, did we hit the mark on this one! I mean – BACON.

The Ultimate BLT Dip

This dip is a perfect pre-meal appetizer for any holiday meal or party. When I’m cooking for our big holiday family dinner, I spend hours and hours in the kitchen. It’s a lot of work, but I really do love it. The only problem? I get hungry while I’m preparing that big meal. I love to have a few appetizers handy, not only to keep family and friends happy (and patient!) but to keep MY belly satisfied so I don’t become a grump by the time dinner is ready to be served.

The Ultimate BLT Dip

I can’t believe how much of a hit this BLT dip was with adults and kids alike. I have tried BLT dips before, but I I’ve always noticed they were missing the “L” in the recipe. Because I’m such a fan of fresh spinach, I thought I’d try creating a dip with chopped spinach in it (to replace the lettuce in the BLT). The result was near to perfection! And since this dip is best served after it has chilled overnight, it’s a perfect make-ahead dish so that you can free up some time when you’re getting ready to gather with family and friends.

Of course, while I was cooking the Hatfield thick cut bacon for the recipe, I did have to steal a slice or two for myself (and my youngest son, who was willing to help in exchange for a piece of bacon!).

  9. This looks delicious! My favorite bacon recipe is blt wraps. Take romaine lettuce leaves, “butter” the leaves, add bacon and a couple tomato slices and devour. So good.

  32. Bacon goes with just about everything. Lately, my favorite way to use bacon is in chocolate chip cookies. If you haven’t tried it, you’re really missing out! Pair it with dark chocolate chips and candied pecans! Make them for Christmas and see if anyone can guess the secret ingredient!

  34. I love to bake cinnamon rolls for my family at Christmas time, and I think a few strips of bacon would be a delicious accompaniment along with a hot cup of coffee. Everyone loves bacon, and it goes with everything!

  38. This recipe is a keeper. I have to make this for my family. I’m sure that they will love it.
    I like making appetizers using bacon. We’ll wrap shrimp, scallops, and tater tots. Everyone in my family seems to love anything with bacon.
    Thanks so much.

  46. My favorite bacon recipe to make for the holidays, or really any time, is overnight breakfast casserole! I love to make it for holidays because it’s so easy, yummy and great for a crowd!

  62. Is eating bacon straight out of the pan a recipe? ’cause that’s how I love it best lol But I also love it in my breakfast burritos! And the holidays are a great excuse to bust those out :) But this dip you’ve made… I didn’t know how much I wanted a bacon dip until now! :)
