Ingredients in BLT Dip
If you’re looking for the perfect appetizer to take to family gatherings, potlucks, or just for hanging out at home, this recipe will have everyone coming back for more!
Cream Cheese Base – Cream cheese is the base of this recipe. The addition of mayo and sour cream makes it smooth and easy to scoop.
Seasonings & Flavors – A bit of garlic powder and smoked paprika flavor this dip. Sharp cheddar and green onion (or swap ½ teaspoon of onion powder) add a boost of flavor.
Turn it into a ranch BLT dip by adding ranch dressing mix, or try Italian dressing mix or fresh herbs if you have them on hand.
Crispy Bacon – I love to make bacon in the oven and keep it in the fridge or freezer.
Time-Saving Tip: Swap out the bacon for bacon bits or pre-cooked bacon.
Lettuce – Iceberg or romaine lettuce are perfect choices for this recipe because they will stay crunchy.
Tomatoes – Anything ripe and juicy variety of tomatoes work here. I most often use either cherry tomatoes or Romas.
How to Make BLT Dip
This simple BLT Dip is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
- Combine creamy ingredients per the recipe below in a bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy (this makes it easy to scoop).

- Once chilled, top with shredded lettuce, remaining bacon, and diced tomatoes.
Make It in Advance
This BLT dip recipe can be made 48 hours before serving as long as it is tightly covered and chilled in the refrigerator. Add the toppings just before serving so they stay fresh and crisp.
Dippers for BLT Dip

This recipe is a winner! Sooo good. I let the cream cheese come to room temp so I didn’t have to use a mixer. Everyone enjoyed it.
I am so happy to hear this recipe was a hit Ami!
I’d like to make this to bring to the office. Do I put all the shredded (3 cups) on top?
Hi Kruptyna, we actually mix it all into the dip itself and you can either set some aside or grate a little extra to sprinkle on top for garnish. Enjoy!
