I love a good BLT sandwich, and this recipe incorporates all of those great flavors in dip form. Serve with croutons, crackers, chips or veggies for an unexpected yet welcomed snack. This dip is one of my favorites along with bacon ranch dip, hot spinach dip and avocado dip!
BLT Dip Ingredients
To make BLT dip you will need softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning, shredded romaine lettuce, diced tomato, cooked bacon and sliced green onions. When I want bacon, I make this dip or some other great dishes like BLT pasta salad, bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers, bacon deviled eggs and bacon wrapped smokies!
How Do You Make BLT Dip?
Start this BLT dip recipe by placing softened cream cheese in a large bowl and beating it with a mixer until smooth. Add sour cream and ranch powder and mix it until combined. Spread the cream cheese base on the bottom of a nine inch dish. Top the base with lettuce, diced tomatoes, bacon and sliced green onions. Serve with dippers and enjoy!
Tips For the Perfect BLT Dip
You can make the cream cheese ranch dip layer can ahead of time. However, you will need to prepare and add the other toppings right before serving or the lettuce will wilt. You can use a round baking dish, skillet or any dish that measures 9 inches in diameter. If you use a smaller or larger dish the BLT dip will be thicker or thinner accordingly. You can make your own bacon bits or use premade bacon bits for this recipe. I use kitchen shears to cut raw bacon into bits that are about the same size before I cook them. Make sure to dry your lettuce with paper towels before putting it on your dip.
Flavor Variations
This BLT dip recipe is creamy and delicious as written; however, you can change the flavors to suit your own taste.
Lettuce: Not a fan of romaine or don’t have it on hand? Try iceberg lettuce instead. Mayo: If desired, you can use mayonnaise in place of the sour cream. Cheese: You can top this dip with a little shredded cheddar cheese. Dippers: You can enjoy this dip with baguette slices, crackers, tortilla chips, potato chips, pita chips or pretzels. Try this dip with fresh veggies like carrot sticks, celery, cucumber slices or strips of bell pepper.
