“This BLT dip is our favorite easy appetizer for game day because everybody loves finger food at game day parties. It’s similar to the classic bacon, lettuce, and tomato (BLT) sandwich but in a fun dip. Full of crispy chopped bacon, fresh diced tomatoes, creamy sour cream, and cream cheese, then topped with a little shredded lettuce,” says Clark. “It’s an easy dip recipe to make and only takes about 30 minutes to put together. Leftovers (if you have any) should be stored in the refrigerator and eaten the next day,” she continues, noting that the leftovers make for a sensational sandwich.

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 °F. Lay 8 strips of bacon on a shallow cooking sheet. Cook for 14 – 16 minutes, or until crispy. I prefer this method of cooking the bacon (vs. stove top) because it frees you up to mix the other ingredients. If you want to save on the baking time, you can use pre-cooked bacon.
2. Blot cooked bacon with paper towels to remove excess grease. Use scissors or your fingers to break up the cooked bacon into small pieces.
3. Place the mayonnaise, sour cream, and cream cheese in a bowl and mix well.
4. Add the cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce, green onion, and tomato. Tip: save a small amount of bacon, lettuce, and tomato to garnish the finished dip.

7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and come together.
