BLT Dip

Blt dip is the simplest party dip around. This dip only takes a few ingredients but packs a major punch. Quick to assemble, easily portable, and a great crowd pleaser.

It’s no secret that my favorite part of football season is the food. One year I had a fantasy team, but I always forgot to set my lineup. Needless to say I came in dead last. I think my time is better spent in the kitchen.

Although we don’t actually go to a lot of games thus having the opportunity to tailgate, I was pretty excited about this months 12 bloggers theme of tailgating recipes. I can make pretty much anything to-go, and the way that all our friends gather at our pool/outdoor TV every Sunday sure makes it seem like a tailgate!

I opted for a dip because I am always trying to sneak healthy stuff into The Hubs snacks and its really easy to sneak healthy stuff into a dip. This BLT dip looks super healthy with all the lettuce and tomato on top, but it does have a creamy base (snuck in some protein packed greek yogurt too) and a crispy bacon layer.

He will eat anything that is put in front of him, healthy or not, so I know he would never complain, but it always helps if you can say “there’s bacon in it!” Besides, its been crazy hot here in San Diego and I couldn’t even fathom the idea of turning on the oven to make something.

This dip takes less than 15 minutes to make. If the bacon is already cooked it takes less than 5 minutes to make. You won’t miss a second of the game….if you’re into that.

My 12 blogger cohorts were much more adventurous than I when it came to cooking up some magic in the kitchen. Check out the awesome collection below. There is something for everyone in there. I think this should be sufficient in getting you through the 2014-2015 football season no?
