BLT Dip

I copied this from a Paula Deen recipe on FoodNetwork.com but made a few changes in attempt to add flavor and lighten it up just a bit. I also see there are many similar recipes on RecipeZaar, but mine is slightly different. It was a hit the few times that I have made it and others have copied with rave reviews. The only negative comment I received is that it needs more bacon...but who doesn't need more bacon?
