  1. I have a few major issues with this recipe. First, the fat content. Does anyone care that 1 serving is 84% of their daily value of fat? And where exactly is the lettuce? We can do better I think. My suggestions to make it better, cut the mayo in half, I would say use fat free mayo, but I can't stand the stuff myself. Use 3 cups of fat free sour cream to make up the difference. Use only a quarter of the prescribed bacon; two pounds is a bit much. When I made this I used a quarter pound and it was plenty. Bake your bacon on a wire rack as to allow most of the fat to drain away, and cook it crispy. I added 10 plum tomatoes and seeded them before dicing. It kept the added moisture under control. I like green onions, so I used about 1/2 cups worth, or about 6 onions. I used endive and romaine hearts instead of the crackers or chips. While I cut out a lot of the fat, I didn't cut out it all and it still tasted wonderful and got rave reviews from my guests.
     
  2. I loved this dip! I cut back on the bacon because two pounds is a lot!!! I used about 1.5 pounds. I was concerned at first because it was extremely chunky and not very flavorful at first. But, LET IT SIT OVERNIGHT!!! Magic happens, the flavors blend, and it is amazing. Who cares about the fat content. If you're concerned about that then you shouldn't be eating chips and a bacon dip in the first place....
     
  3. Made this for the first time for a party last night, It was so easy and absolutely delicious. Everyone loved it and it was gone very quickly. Definitely make it the morning before you want to serve so the flavors can blend. Used Fritos and Wheat Thins for dippers. This one is a keeper.
     
  4. This was a very yummy dip. I tried it with club crackers and fritos and they were both equally delish with this dip. Thanks for the recipe!

Tweaks

  1. I increased the amount of tomatoes, bacon, and green onion to have lots of top for great presentation.
     
  2. Very tasty. To cut down some on the fat I used low fat Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream, and canola oil mayonaise. This also works with turkey bacon or regular bacon equally well. In any event it's always a crowd pleaser! I served with plain bagel chips and mult-grain crackers.
