Bacon and Scallion Sour Cream Dip

Who can resist chips and dip, especially when the dip is full of bacon-y goodness? If you want to dress things up in a surprising way, spoon a small dollop on good potato chips and serve as a passed hors d’oeuvre. We guarantee they’ll disappear in a flash.

Ingredients

  • 1 (8-ounce) package Applegate Naturals ® No Sugar Bacon
  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 
  • 1 bunch scallions, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives 
  • Potato chips, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. 
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. 
  3. Bake until the bacon is browned and crisp, turning once, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer bacon to a paper towel–lined plate to cool. 
  4. When cool, finely chop the bacon; set aside 2 tablespoons of the bacon to use as a garnish.
  5. Meanwhile, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise and scallions in a bowl. Add the majority of the chopped bacon. Season with salt and plenty of black pepper. 
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the chives and reserved bacon. Serve with potato chips.
