What is a BLT Dip?

It’s basically a delicious appetizer that resembles an American classic sandwich, only in a dip!

A BLT sandwich is commonly made with bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiched between toasted bread and lots of mayo.

The BLT sandwich became popular in many Diners across the country, for those who wanted an inexpensive sandwich for lunch.

It was easy to prepare because the Diners already had cooked bacon along with sliced tomatoes and lettuce. Today, the BLT sandwich is still popular on menus across the country.

Our BLT Dip is a crowd-pleaser dip! And you should make it for your next gathering.

This dip is loaded with fresh ingredients and lots of flavors. Plus, it’s amazingly luscious and creamy!

From my experience, I guarantee it will be enjoyed by all.

What makes this the best Loaded BLT Dip?

1. First and foremost, once you fully cook the bacon, the rest comes together easily and in minutes.

2. Secondly, you can serve this BLT dip two ways! Either CHILLED (as I did here today), or you can serve it baked in a small ramekin dishes.

3. QUICK TIP for BAKING! To serve it warm/hot, you only need to transfer the mixture into an 8 x 8 baking dish. Sprinkle some additional cheddar cheese on top, and bake it in the oven, at 350 degrees F (180C) for 20 minutes, until it is heated through and cheese melts on top. Then allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips and Notes for Success…

To make the BEST BLT Dip, we recommend using real bacon for this recipe. It makes all the difference in the world.
You can cook the bacon two ways. Either in a skillet on the stove-top, turning them over until they are fully cooked. Then drain on paper towels.
Or you can bake the bacon on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes until the bacon is fully cooked. Then drain on paper towels.
It’s not recommended to cook the bacon in the microwave, because the bacon will become soggy and you won’t be able to crumble it as well.

Try this dip and enjoy!!
