What You Need To Make Creamy BLT Dip
This recipe comes together fast and is full of classic flavors.
- Sour Cream: You can use either full fat or low fat sour cream. I will say I like the full fat for this dip, it is so creamy!
- Cream Cheese: Again light or regular cream cheese can be used. Make sure your cream cheese is good and softened.
- Onion Powder: This give the creamy dip a wonderful flavor without the bulk of chopped onion.
- Garlic Powder: Another classic flavor that helps give the BLT dip some zing.
- Parsley: Use dried parsley so it doesn’t wilt or turn brown on you.
- Tomatoes: Finely chopped for easy dipping.
- Bacon Crumbled bacon, again smaller is better.
- Cheddar Cheese: Use shredded cheddar that you grate yourself.
- Lettuce: You will want to use very finely shredded lettuce.
- Tortilla Chips, Pita Chips, Ruffled Potato Chips: For dipping of course.

Tips For The Best Creamy BLT Dip
This unique dip is going to steal the show. Light and refreshing, it is crowd pleaser!
- Cheese: Shred your own cheese for better quality taste. Preshreded cheese often has additives or preservatives that can keep it from tasting the best. If you do not have cheddar you can use colby jack, or monterey jack. You can go strong cheese too like blue cheese or pepper jack for a fun twist.
- Bacon: Make sure your bacon is good and crispy before you crumble it. It makes for a more tasty dip and it won’t go soggy. I like to cook it in the air fryer or oven.
- Lettuce: When I shred my lettuce I also cut it so it isn’t long and stringy. About an inch long is all. That way it is easier to dip and eat.
- Tomatoes: If you use a large tomato be sure to seed it and remove all the pulp. Otherwise the tomato will be too juicy and cause a watery dip. You can also use grape or cherry tomatoes finely chopped.
- Seasoning: If you want even more flavor season the cream cheese and sour cream with 2 or more teaspoons of ranch dressing mix, or Italian seasoning It is yummy!
What To Serve with Your Creamy BLT Dip
You can serve a variety of dippers with this creamy BLT dip, it is a fun one to eat!
- Crackers: Ritz, Wheat Thins, Pita Chips, Potato chips, Tortilla chips, Crositni, sourdough rounds, or any type of cracker you desire.
- Vegetables: Vegetables too work great with this dip. I like to use carrots, celery, cauliflower, broccoli, and sugar snap peas.
- Spread it: If you have leftovers this dip also makes a great spread. Use on top of potatoes, toss with pasta or use as a spread on sandwiches and wraps.
Store Your Dip
Keep your extra BLT dip in the fridge tightly covered for up to 4 days. The lettuce will wilt after about 2 days. I like to try to take off as much as the lettuce as possible before storing. It will look and taste more pleasant to add fresh lettuce the next time you serve it.
