Hot Cheesy BLT Dip

Sep 6, 2016 · 22 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This hot cheesy BLT dip is my new all-time-favorite-party dip, it’s SO incredibly good. It’s hot, but not spicy hot, the kind of bubbly hot that has ooooey gooooey melty cheese for miles and will have all your guests begging asking for the recipe.

I wish I would have posted this dip a little sooner so that you could have made it for Labor day, but it will be perfect for whatever holiday or get together you have next, trust me, make this, wow your guests! Speaking of Labor day, how was your long weekend? The Labor day weekend is our wedding anniversary weekend so we always typically take a little trip – if you follow me on Instagram, @sweetphi, you would have seen we took a road trip with our dog, traffic was horrible and we were in the car 11.5 hours one way, 9.5 on the way home. More on the trip later, but it was nice to leave my computer behind for a weekend…but I kept thinking about this dip and how I couldn’t wait to post it!

The best and most delicious hot cheesy BLT dip

So a few weeks ago my hubby and I went on a double date with two amazing friends to one of our favorite restaurants and we had the most glorious appetizer. The restaurant changes their menu daily (it’s a super small place – only 6 tables), and the appetizer for the evening was for a BLT dip. Our waitress said it had heirloom tomatoes, thick smokey bacon, spinach as the lettuce, and that it was cheesy…yes, we’ll have that, thanks.

The best recipe for how to make hot cheesy BLT dip

It came to the table and sure enough, it was cheesy, bacony, had little pieces of tomato and spinach throughout, it was SO GOOD. The dip came with fresh bread that had been warmed and brushed with olive oil. We all went gaga over the dip, and I could not stop thinking about when I got home, so of course I had to recreate it. As I gave it to my hubby to try, he said “babe, this is actually a little better than at the restaurant!” Whaaaattttt? How crazy cool is that?

The most amazing hot cheesy BLT dip for an appetizer or party

And I have to tell you, I hope this streak continues, because the food I’ve been cooking up in my little kitchen has been some of the best food I’ve ever made lately. It just keeps getting better and better. I keep making dishes that are based off inspiration from eating out – like these chickpea & zucchini veggie burgers (they’re legit the best veggie burgers out there) and these 5 ingredient shrimp and black bean enchiladas.

Because we’re in the process of selling our house a lot of my bakeware is in storage, so I used mini casserole dishes I had on hand, but you could use an 8×8 square baking dish, ramekins, or one of those aluminum foil baking dishes so you can leave it at a party.

If there was a dip to win a dip award, this one would definitely be IT, the next gathering you go to, be sure to bring along this hot cheesy BLT dip.

Prep Time: 15 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes minutes
Servings: 8 -10 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces of thick cut bacon cooked, chopped
  • 8 oz 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup light sour cream
  • 1 garlic clove pressed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayeene pepper
  • 1 cup baby spinach chopped
  • 1 to mato medium-large, like a roma or on the vine variety
  • 1 1/4 cup Italian blend shredded cheese or mozzarella cheese, divided
  • Fresh herbs for garnish chopped (parsley/basil), optional

Instructions

  • Start by cooking the bacon - I do this by baking it on a foil lined baking sheet at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, remove it from the oven, flip it, then cook for another 5-10 minutes depending on thickness. You want the bacon almost cooked through - a little softness is ok. Remove bacon from oven and transfer to a paper towel lined plate and blot grease off. Cut bacon in little pieces.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a bowl combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream, beat with a hand mixer (or stir it by hand) until combined. Add in bacon pieces, garlic, salt, cayeene pepper and stir, then add in baby spinach and tomato pieces and half of the cheese (3/4 cup). Stir until combined, then spoon into baking dish (or dishes). Sprinkle remaining cheese on top of the baking dish (or divide among the baking dishes) and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese on the top is melted and the edges start to brown.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

Serve with olive oil brushed bread (I like to bake mine so that it forms almost crostini-like pieces) or serve with crackers or chips.

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
