Ingredients

1 pound bacon: Provides a savory base and essential crunch. Substitute with turkey bacon for a lighter option.
1 cup mayonnaise: Offers a creamy texture and rich taste. Opt for Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter version.
1 cup sour cream: Balances the mayo with a tangy note and creamy consistency.
1 tomato – peeled, seeded and diced: Freshness and a touch of acidity. Canned diced tomatoes can work if fresh are unavailable.

How to Make It

Step 1: Cook the Bacon

Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 10-15 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove excess grease. The crisp texture enhances the dip, so ensure it’s thoroughly cooked and crunchy.

Step 2: Mix the Base

In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir until smooth. This step ensures an even blend of flavors for a consistent taste throughout the dip.

Step 3: Prepare the Tomato

Peel, seed, and dice the tomato. Removing seeds prevents excess water, keeping the dip thick and cohesive.

Step 4: Combine Ingredients

Once the bacon is cooled, crumble it into the mayo and sour cream mixture. Add the diced tomato and stir until all components are well-integrated. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 5: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to meld flavors before serving. Pair it with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh veggies for dipping.
